Abel Murrieta Gutiérrez was a Mexican lawyer and politician. Francisco Abel Murrieta Gutiérrez was a Mexican lawyer and politician who was a member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
He served as deputy of the LXIII Legislature of the Mexican Congress representing Sonora from 2015 to 2018. Previously, he was a member of the Congress of Sonora and the attorney general of the same state. Murrieta studied law at the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, graduating in 1984.
He provided legal counsel, as an independent corporate lawyer, to various businesses in Ciudad Obregón from 1986 to 1991. In addition, he worked at various universities in the state, teaching business law at the Sonora Institute of Technology from 1985 to 1990, commercial law at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education Ciudad Obregón campus from 1991 to 1992, and administrative law at the Universidad La Salle Noroeste from 1997 to 1998.
He joined the Sonora Attorney General’s office in 1991, working in various capacities for them as well as for the municipality of Cajeme before being named state Attorney General in 2004. When Guillermo Padrés Elías of the National Action Party (PAN) replaced outgoing governor Eduardo Bours in 2009, he fired the entire cabinet except for Murrieta.
He held the position for eight years, resigning in January 2012 to run for another office. Following his resignation from the state Attorney General’s office, he registered as a candidate for the PRI nomination to the Congress of Sonora in 2012. He won a seat representing the 16th district of Ciudad Obregón southeast, and served his full term as a deputy of the LX Legislature from 2012 to 2015.
After his term in the state legislature, Murrieta won a seat as a deputy in the LXIII Legislature of the Mexican Congress for Sonora’s 6th district in 2015. In 2017 Murrieta announced his intention to run for municipal president of Cajeme in the following year’s elections under the PRI banner.
In February 2018, however, he resigned from the party and joined PAN. Murrieta continued his career in law after leaving office. He, along with former Baja California Attorney General Antonio Martínez Luna, represented the LeBarón family in their legal case dealing with the fallout of the LeBarón and Langford families massacre in northeastern Sonora that left nine people dead in November 2019.
Murrieta was shot and killed in Ciudad Obregón on 13 May 2021. He was standing on a street corner distributing flyers for his campaign for the municipal presidency (now under the Citizens’ Movement banner) when a car approached and fired multiple shots, hitting him in the head. Murrieta was rushed to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries.
