Journalist Pedro Tamayo
Rosas was gunned down outside his home in front of his wife and two children in
Tierra Blanca, Veracruz. So far during
the administration of Governor Javier Duarte, there have been 17 people who
worked in the media that have been assassinated.
According to initial investigations,
two men arrived at Pedro’s home, who then greeted him and then gunned him down,
fleeing the scene. Tamayo Rosas was
taken to the hospital where he died.
At the site of the
attack, police found several 9mm shell casings and tracks from the car that the
assailants fled in.
The 45 year old
journalist’s work involved documenting cases of violence in the region and
wrote under a pseudonym in En la Línea de Fuego. He also worked with the newsoutlets Al Calor Político and El Piñero de la Cuenca.
According to
information from AFP, Pedro Tamayo covered for days the discovery of the several
clandestine graves in June 2014, from which 35 people were allegedly killed by
Los Zetas in the municipality of Tres Valles.
On January of this year,
he received several threats against his life, for which a police patrol made
daily patrols, however, this didn’t stop him from being assassinated.
It should be noted that
since May 17, the organization Artículo
19 had counted 16 journalists assassinated during the administration of
Javier Duarte, with Pedro Tamayo, it adds up to 17.
