Woman Shot and Killed in 5 de Diciembre Neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The tragic death of a woman who was shot outside the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM) in Puerto Vallarta has been confirmed. It has been revealed that the victim was Irma Fregoso, the sister of Magaly Fregoso, a former candidate for federal deputy for the Green Party in this city.

The incident took place at approximately 11 a.m. on Monday in the 5 de Diciembre neighborhood, where the CTM facilities are located. Irma Fregoso had attended a meeting at the CTM and was attacked shortly after leaving the premises. She sustained a gunshot wound to the head, and despite being rushed to IMSS clinic 42, she succumbed to her injuries hours later.

Irma Fregoso was a prominent member of 50 plus 1 Puerto Vallarta, an organization of women politicians with a national presence. Her death has sent shockwaves through the political community and beyond, given her involvement in various initiatives aimed at empowering women in politics.

Reports indicate that Irma had an argument with her alleged attacker prior to the shooting, but the motive behind the incident remains unclear. Authorities are conducting an investigation to uncover the circumstances leading up to the tragic event.

Magaly Fregoso, Irma’s sister, ran for the position of federal deputy for the Green Party in Puerto Vallarta and has been a well-known figure in the political landscape. The loss of her sister has undoubtedly left a profound impact on her and those who knew Irma.

The 5 de Diciembre neighborhood, typically known for its vibrant community life, has been shaken by this act of violence. Residents and local leaders are calling for justice and increased security measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

As the investigation continues, the community mourns the loss of a dedicated and influential figure. Irma Fregoso’s contributions to women’s political participation and her active role in 50 plus 1 Puerto Vallarta will be remembered by many. Her untimely death highlights the ongoing issue of violence and its devastating effects on families and communities.

Authorities urge anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward and assist in the investigation. The hope is that justice will be served and that measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of all citizens in Puerto Vallarta.
