Jesús Gallegos, appointed head of the Jalisco State Tourism Office, was slain this weekend in what authorities say was a gangland-style execution. Gallegos, 46, took office less than two weeks ago, a surprise appointment. A former Puerto Vallarta mayor has been expected to be named to the tourism post by a newly-installed state administration. A businessman involved in construction, Gallegos worked on projects for Viadafel- Mayan Palace. His killers spotted Gallegos when he left a business meeting, chased his car in two vehicles on their own and shot the official following a crash.
