A journalist who ran an online local news program was shot to death Monday in southern Mexico, making him the 15th media worker killed so far this year nationwide.
Prosecutors in the southern state of Guerrero said Monday that Fredid Roman was gunned down in the state capital, Chilpancingo.
Prosecutors did not immediately offer any further details on the killing of Roman, who local media said had previously published a newspaper under the same name and was shot inside his vehicle. That area has been hit by drug cartel violence in recent years. In March, volunteer searchers found 11 bodies in clandestine burial pits in a stretch of desert near a garbage dump in San Luis.
Authorities said it was unknown whether that attack was related to the journalist's work, his role as representative of local businesses in the planning of an upcoming fair or something else.
