"On Sept. 10, 2026, digital news outlet La Noticia Clave was attacked by unknown assailants who opened fire on its offices. Journalist and outlet director Johnny Namuche reported the attack. It took place in Lambayeque province in northern Peru.
Namuche said that minutes before the attack, he and his team had finished broadcasting their nightly news program. Street security cameras captured the assailants riding in a motorized rickshaw as they opened fire on the outlet’s offices, shooting four times toward the windows, with journalists still inside.
Although Namuche said they had not received any prior threats, he noted that they had recently published a report from hospital staff about the alleged abandonment of an elderly person who was a relative of candidate Dustin Coello Vásquez of the Avanza País party."
