Germán Reyes was arrested on charges of homicide for the killing of Alejandro Arcos just a week after he took office as mayor of Chilpancingo .

The arrest was shocking, because officials had previously blamed the killing on a local drug and extortion gang.

If Reyes is convicted, it would be a stinging rebuke for a policy adopted by cities across Mexico of hiring retired military officers for top local police jobs.
