The journalist had recently complained that he was receiving threats , stressed the Mexican branch of the non-governmental organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF).

At least six journalists have been killed so far in 2021 in Mexico . Authorities have not yet determined whether their deaths were due to their work.

Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for media workers. More than a hundred journalists have been killed there since 2000 , according to figures from the Mexican Human Rights Commission.

Eight journalists were killed in 2020, according to RSF.

More than 90% of the murders of journalists in Mexico go unpunished , according to organizations defending freedom of the press.
