Two men will serve lengthy prison sentences following their recent conviction for the 2017 kidnapping of an Ajijic businessman.

Chapala police and state authorities were called to the scene of two new shooting incidents, with one fatality reported this week.

Movilidad Chapala, the municipality’s independent traffic department, is gearing up for full implementation of its regulations, set to take effect March 11.

In keeping with running his administration under the motto Gobierno de la Gente (government of the people), Chapala Mayor Moisés Anaya was one happy camper when he arrived at the Ajijic Malecón Wednesday, February 27 to give a pat on the back to good citizens who took charge of refurbishing the wooden benches lined up along the waterfront.

A long-time lakeside foreign resident fought off a would-be carjacker who assaulted her while she sat in her SUV parked on Ajijic’s Calle Independencia on Sunday, February 10.

The wave of execution-style shootings in the Chapala area continues with at least two confirmed fatalities registered since last weekend.
