A Mexican journalist, Lourdes Maldonado, was "murdered" this Sunday night in Tijuana, state of Baja California (northwest),

less than a week after the murder of another journalist

in the same town, the regional prosecutor's office reported.

Maldonado has "been attacked

with a firearm,

while she was in a vehicle," the State Attorney General's Office (FGE) reported in a statement.

"He worked as a journalist," said the FGE when announcing an investigation.

Last Monday, photojournalist Margarito Martínez, a contributor to the weekly Zeta and foreign media, was also assassinated in Tijuana.

His body was found next to a vehicle in a residential area of ​​this city bordering the United States.

Lourdes Maldonado

worked as a correspondent in Tijuana starting in the 1990s

for a Mexican media outlet.

He later collaborated in various media, including First News System (PSN), by Jaime Bonilla, who was governor of Baja-California from 2019 to 2021 within a political coalition supporting the ruling Morena party.

The victim

had won a labor lawsuit against PSN for abusive dismissal a few days ago

.

Maldonado went in 2019 to one of the morning conferences of President

Andrés Manuel López Obrador

to ask him for help in the labor trial against Jaime Bonilla.

"I come here to ask you for support, help and labor justice

because

I fear for my life," he

said on this occasion.

The president had referred her to his "social communication coordinator" (spokesperson) "so that he attends to you, supports you so that justice is requested, and that there is no influence (cronyism, nepotism)".
