MEXICO CITY (AP) — A journalist has been killed in the northern Mexico border city of Tijuana. Lourdes Maldonado López was the second journalist killed in Tijuana in a week and the third in Mexico this month. The Baja California state prosecutor’s office says Maldonado was found shot to death inside a car Sunday. In 2019, she went to President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s daily morning news conference and asked for his help, saying she feared for her life. She had been in a labor dispute with a man later elected governor. The president on Monday called for a full investigation and urged against jumping to conclusions.
