Mexican reporter gunned down - Michoacan

A Mexican journalist was chased and gunned down at a hotel and media rights groups Monday called for an investigation into whether he was killed because of his reporting.

Gerardo Garcia, a 24-year-old reporter for the daily La Opinion in the western state of Michoacan, was shot to death Saturday at the hotel where he lived with his family, said Magdalena Guzman, a spokeswoman for Michoacan state prosecutors.

Investigators recovered more than 45 spent shells from the crime scene, Guzman said.”*
