Freedom of the Press 2007: Mexico

Ramírez was the second Mexican journalist killed in less than 24 hours following the 29 October shooting of Mauricio Cruz Solís.

International civil society organization Article 19, which reported his death, believes recent articles by Morales Culebro could have put him at risk.
