MEXICO CITY — A journalist was gunned down this week as he left a holiday party in the Caribbean resort town of Tulum, human rights officials and an international media group said Friday, bringing to 12 the number of reporters killed this year in the country.
Alberto Velazquez of the newspaper Expresiones de Tulum was killed Tuesday.
He had written articles critical of local officials, and his paper had received threats, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
The CPJ said at least 17 reporters have been murdered in Mexico since 1992 in direct reprisal for their work.
