A crime reporter has been found dead in northwestern Mexico, the latest suspected murder in what is already one of the deadliest years ever for the country’s press.
Juan Arjon Lopez, an independent journalist who ran a news page on Facebook, went missing on August 9, according to the state attorney general.
A body with tattoos matching those of Arjon was recovered on Tuesday in San Luis Rio Colorado, the town where he disappeared. Arjon’s body was found showing “signs of violence,” Sonora Attorney General Claudia Indira told a press conference.
Mexico is one of the riskiest countries in the world for journalists, according to Article 19, which says at least 34 media workers have been killed in relation to their work since President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador took office in December 2018. At least 17 journalists have been killed in 2022.
Last week, four employees of a radio station in the border town Ciudad Juarez were killed in what officials called gang-related violence. The week before that, journalist Ernesto Mendez was killed in the central state of Guanajuato in a bar he owned.
Arjon’s most recent news reports on his Facebook page were about a drug seizure and the recovery of several items of stolen goods.
