Mexican journalist gunned down in Morelia
Shooting
Mexican journalist Abraham Mendoza was killed on July 19 in Morelia, the capital of the western state of Michoacán, Mexico.
Mendoza was gunned down walking from a gym to his car. He had worked for Voces Radio since 2013 as news director, producer and programme host. He also reported for EXA-Morelia, another local radio station, and hosted programmes on Central TV AM and Grupo Acir radio. RSF reports that he was often outspoken on social media, especially in his criticism of political corruption, both local and federal, but had not reported receiving threats recently.
The Michoacán state prosecutor’s office said that it had arrested three suspects and was continuing the investigation.
