Elvis Guerra, the muxe designer who created the dress worn for Mexico's Grito ceremony, met with President Claudia Sheinbaum and Security Secretary Omar Harfuch at Palacio Nacional, according to El Universal. The meeting followed an armed attack on Guerra's home, which he had reported publicly.
Multiple outlets carried the same account. Reforma reported that Sheinbaum received the designer, described as threatened in Juchitán. La Jornada said the encounter took place after Guerra denounced the shooting at his residence. El Financiero also linked the meeting to the tiroteo at his house.
Guerra is known for designing the dress used in the Grito, the annual ceremony that marks the start of Mexico's independence celebrations. The reports place the attack and the meeting in the same sequence but do not describe what was discussed inside Palacio Nacional.
No details were given in the available reporting about the circumstances of the shooting, whether anyone was injured, or whether anyone has been detained. The accounts also do not state what commitments, if any, came out of the meeting with Sheinbaum and Harfuch.
What to watch next: whether federal or Oaxaca state authorities announce an investigation into the attack, and whether officials disclose any protection measures for Guerra.
