According to local paper El Sol de Acapulco, the judge had been in charge of the court which dealt with murders, kidnappings and car thefts.
It is not yet known what the possible motive behind the murder may have been.
The governor of Guerrero state said the crime demanded “immediate justice”.
The killing of the judge is the latest in a string of extremely violent attacks in Guerrero over the past weeks.
Last month, the bodies of 11 people, including two children, were found inside a vehicle in the town of Chilpancingo, 100km (62 miles) north of Acapulco.
Acapulco, once a popular beach resort, has not been spared, with rival gangs battling for control of the city’s drugs market – and at times leaving mutilated bodies on beaches.
