Political assassinations in Oaxaca, Mexico

Mark in Mexico has a report about two politicians who were assassinated in the Oaxaca district:
On Thursday past, indigenous leader Roberto García was gunned down in San Juan Copala. García had just announced that his indigenous group would declare the town an "autonomous" zone.

[...]

The previous day, in Santo Domingo de Morelos, Pochutla, Oaxaca, Fructuoso Pedro García, was gunned down right in front of his wife. He had the day before announced his candidacy for municipal president. He was a member of the PRD.

This news broke several days after the murder because, as allege his family members and political allies, Oaxaca Attorney General Lizbeth Caña sealed the area and released no information to the press, "to avoid the political implications and allow the murderers to escape."
Very disturbing news. Not only were there murders committed, but the AG of the area may have enabled more corruption to take place. Simply awful.
García's family is preparing to come to this, the capitol city, along with a contingent of townspeople to demand Caña's resignation and that the assassins be found and brought to justice.
I agree, Caña should resign for his incompetance.
