Medics tried to save his life:
Manzo was rushed to a hospital where he later died.
From Politico:
The attacker was killed at the scene, Federal Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch told journalists Sunday.

Those posts above claim that Manzo had been begging Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum for help battling the cartels in his city, Uruapan, Michoacan, one of Mexico's most violent states.
Politico has a similar story:
In recent months, the Uruapan mayor had publicly appealed to Sheinbaum on social media for help to confront the cartels and criminal groups. He had accused Michoacan's pro-government governor, Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla, and the state police of corruption.
Hey, maybe somebody should remind Trump that most of the fentanyl that enters our country and kills Americans comes from Mexico.
