"Early Thursday morning [June 11], reporter Luis Ángel López was killed in an armed attack while driving along 20 de Noviembre Avenue in the Cazones neighborhood of Poza Rica, in northern Veracruz.
The incident took place around 1:00 a.m. on Thursday, when the journalist—who covered the police beat for the media outlet Vanguardia—was shot after being intercepted on the avenue by armed individuals.
[...]
The crime took place in the same area where fellow journalist Carlos Castro, of the outlet Código Norte Veracruz, was murdered last January.
[...]
The killing of Luis Ángel López also comes just weeks after the abduction of media professional Roxana Guzmán Ramírez in Nanchital; her whereabouts remain unknown."
