Another Murdered Reporter

Police reporter Hugo Alfredo Olivera of La Voz de Michoacán was shot to death yesterday. He was subsequently robbed of his wallet, jewelry, and car stereo. It's not clear whether this was a robbery gone wrong or retaliation for his work, with the robbery a merely incidental addition to the crime. Olivera's death follows the murder of a pair of journalists in Guerrero last week, which also appeared to be the result of a robbery.
