Gunmen kill journalist in Meixcan state of Sonora
Shooting
Jorge Camero, 28, was in a gym in Empalme, Sonora, when he was attacked according to the Sonora state prosecutor, who said authorities found eight shell casings at the scene.
Camero worked as general director of the Facebook-hosted news outlet El Informativo.
