Journalists in Chiapas protest for the murder of Mario Gómez: See VIDEO at bottom


Dozens of journalists in Tuxtla Gutiérrez took to the streets to demand the clarification of the murder of Mario Leonel Gómez Sánchez, which occurred in the municipal capital of Yajalón on Friday afternoon.

The journalists marched from the Parque de la Juventud to the Government Palace, where no authority gave face to commit to the clarification of the facts.

Gomez received death threats a year ago from one of the bodyguards of the federal deputy for the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM), Rafael Guirao and, despite this, no one was arrested.

So far, the Attorney General's Office has not disclosed any line of investigation regarding the crime of Mario Gómez, who yesterday was shot dead on leaving his home.

A video that was circulated on social networks shows how two hit men on a motorcycle killed journalist Mario Leonel Gómez Sánchez when he was outside his home.

Despite the existence of other people near Mario Gómez Sánchez, the shooting went directly against the journalist.

In the video it is observed that after several shots, Mario Gómez falls seated on the sidewalk and neighbors who witnessed the events, ran to help him, so his own family moved him to the Yajalón hospital where he finally died.
