MEXICO CITY—A U.S. couple was shot dead in the violence-plagued western Mexican state of Michoacan, state prosecutors said on Thursday, just after the country’s president had wrapped up a meeting with security officials aimed at addressing a wave of violence.
Identified as Gloria A., 50, and Rafael C., 53, the couple was traveling in a pickup in the municipality of Angamacutiro when they were shot on Wednesday night, the attorney general’s office in Michoacan said in a statement.
