Mexican authorities said Thursday a local journalist was shot to death outside his home in the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, the country's deadliest for reporters in recent years.
The state prosecutor's office said in a statement that 43-year-old Pedro Tamayo was gunned down by two attackers Wednesday night in the municipality of Tierra Blanca. Investigators recovered multiple 9 mm shells.
Authorities did not give a possible motive for the killing, and it was not immediately clear if Tamayo was targeted due to his work.
The newspaper he worked for, El Pinero de la Cuenca, published . . .
