(CNN)Two Mexican mayors and a vice mayor were killed in different parts of the country on Saturday, according to Mexican officials.

Ambrosio Soto Duarte, mayor of Pungarabato, a small town in Guerrero, was killed in neighboring Michoacan state, Hector Astudillo Flores, the governor of Guerrero, said in a news conference Sunday.
Duarte was riding on a freeway when two pickup trucks stopped his car, Flores said. A shootout ensued, killing Duarte and a suspect and injuring two police officers in Duarte’s security detail
Duarte had received death threats, prompting him to request security for himself and his family beginning in January, said Flores.
