MEXICO CITY (AP) — A journalist who covered the violent western Mexico state of Michoacan for a Facebook news page has been shot to death. Mauricio Solís of the webpage Minuto por Minuto was shot to death late Tuesday just moments after he interviewed the mayor of the city of Uruapan (ooh-roo-WAH-pan). The U.N. human rights office in Mexico condemned the killing in a statement Wednesday. It said Solís was at least the fifth journalist killed in Mexico this year. Then less than 24 hours later an entertainment reporter in the western city of Colima was killed Wednesday inside a restaurant she owned.
