A Mexican journalist who published an online local news program was shot and killed Monday in southern Mexico — the 15th member of the media to be murdered in the country this year.
Fredid Román, who ran the program called “The Reality of Guerrero,” was gunned down inside his vehicle in Chilpancingo, Guerrero, local prosecutors said.
Further details on the fatal shooting were not immediately available.
Román focused heavily on state-level politics in his reporting and previously published a newspaper under the same name in Guerrero — where drug cartels, armed vigilantes and other groups regularly clash.
His murder adds to the horrific, record-breaking tally of journalist slayings this year in Mexico. Outside of a war zone, Mexico is considered the most dangerous country for reporters.
