Mexican journalist shot dead in Colima, Mexico.
Shooting
Patricia Ramírez González, also known as Paty Bunbury, an entertainment reporter for the privately owned Hechos newspaper, was the second Mexican journalist killed in less than 24 hours following Tuesday’s shooting of Mauricio Cruz Solís. The killings occurred during the first month of Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration.
“The brutal killing of Paty Bunbury is especially shocking, as it comes less than a day after her colleague Mauricio Cruz was killed,” said Jan-Albert Hootsen, CPJ’s Mexico representative. “The killings demonstrate the urgent need for President Sheinbaum to take steps to protect the press from violence.”
According to a statement by the Colima state prosecutor’s office (FGE), Ramírez was shot by a single, unidentified individual at around 2 p.m. in the eatery she runs in Colima’s state capital as a side job to her work as a journalist.
