Miguel Angel Morales
Shooting
On 28 September 2004, journalist Miguel Ángel Morales, secretary general of the National Press Society (Círculo Nacional de Prensa, CNP), was assassinated.
The incident occurred on the highway. Morales was driving on the highway when a vehicle behind him, which did not have a licence plate, began to swerve.
Thinking that the individuals in the vehicle were inebriated, Morales pulled over to let them pass, at which point an unidentified individual got out of the vehicle and shot the journalist, killing him instantly.
