He was assassinated in 1923 in Parral, Chihuahua, in his car. The assassins were never arrested, although a Durango politician, Jesus Salas Barraza, publicly claimed credit. While there is some circumstantial evidence that Obregon or Plutarco Elías Calles was behind the killing, Villa made many enemies over his lifetime, who would have had motives to murder him.
