Activist who documented murders in one of Mexico’s deadliest cities killed
Adolfo Enríquez shot dead in Guanajuato city of León, which has third highest number of homicides in Mexico
The level of corruption in police, prosecutors and politics is off the charts in Mexico. It's painful to watch and there's no easy way out.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Local media reported Enríquez was shot to death after leaving a restaurant, and that the attacker fled on a motorcycle.
Enríquez also posted videos of crimes such as robberies and muggings, and appealed to the public for help in identifying the thieves.
He rose to national attention after he posted a compelling, tragic security camera video of the stabbing death of a woman in León in August.
In perhaps the most famous case involving those who documented drug cartel violence, blogger María Elizabeth Macías was murdered in 2011 in the northern border state of Tamaulipas.
Her body was found along with a note purportedly signed by the Zetas cartel: “Here I am because of my reports.” A computer keyboard and headphones lay next to her severed head.
According to a 2022 report by the nongovernmental group Global Witness, Mexico was the deadliest place in the world for environmental and land defense activists in 2021, with 54 killed that year.
