TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — An environmental activist has been reported killed by unidentified gunmen in northern Honduras six months after his younger brother and another activist were slain in a similar attack. A family member and an enviornmenta group say Oquelí Domínguez was shot by two men on a motorcycle at his family’s home in Tocoa on Thursday morning.  Police have not commented on the attack. Older brother Reynaldo Domínguez says police seemed to be steering the investigation toward a possible robbery, which he discounted. In January, brother Aly Domínguez and activist Jairo Bonilla were also shot to death. Bonilla and all three Domínguez brothers were well-known defenders of the nearby Carlos Escaleras National Park.
