XALAPA, Mexico – A Mexican journalist has been killed in the gulf coast state of Veracruz. He's at least the 10th journalist slain in the country this year.
The state security coordinator says in a statement that unidentified gunmen shot 34-year-old Gumaro Perez Aguilando while he attended a Christmas event at his child's elementary school Tuesday morning. Dozens of parents and children were present at the time of the shooting.
Perez covered crime news for a number of local outlets and had founded the online news site La Voz del Sur. He also worked for the local government in some capacity.
