The attack in Angamacutiro, a town halfway between Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City, took place Wednesday when gunmen attacked a couple visiting family in the Michoacán state.
Authorities said security officials found Ambriz dead from her wounds and Cardona 'gravely wounded' inside a vehicle riddled by bullet holes.
The slaying follows other high-profile killings in Angamacutiro, which borders one of Mexico's most violent states, where the town's police chief was assassinated.
Prosecutors said it wasn't clear why Cardona, 53, and Ambriz, 50, had been targeted, as they were visiting family for the holidays.
