Daughter Of Slain Journalist In Mexico Dies Of Injuries From Attack

On Wednesday, Antonio de la Cruz became the 12th journalist killed so far this year in Mexico when a man on a motorcycle shot at him in his car outside his home. His daughter Cinthya de la Cruz Martínez, 23, was with him in the vehicle and was also shot. On Friday, the newspaper De la Cruz worked for, Expreso, reported that the daughter died of her injuries at a hospital in Ciudad Victoria, where the attack took place. He had suffered a bullet wound to the head, according to the newspaper. Also on Friday, the governor of the western state of Jalisco said the director of a university radio station in the coastal city of Puerto Vallarta was stabbed in what he described as an attempted robbery. Governor Enrique Alfaro said Susanna Carreño was in stable condition after surgery. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Thursday that federal prosecutors were investigating de la Cruz’s killing as a crime against freedom of expression. One of the journalist’s colleagues said that De la Cruz had once been asked, apparently by state authorities, to remove some of his tweets. “On Twitter, Antonio was very critical of the state government and criticized the government,” said fellow journalist Carlos Manuel Juarez. “He even told me at one point that he had been asked to take down some critical tweets he had posted.” De la Cruz, 47, was a reporter for the local newspaper Expreso for nearly three decades. “This is clearly an attack on freedom of expression,” said Expreso director Miguel Domínguez. Almost all of Tamaulipas’ recent governors have faced corruption charges, ranging from money laundering to aiding drug cartels. Expreso has been targeted over the years. In 2012, one of the worst years of drug cartel violence, a car bomb exploded in front of the newspaper building. In 2018, a cooler with a human head was left in the newspaper, with a warning not to report the violence in the city.
