His phone was not found at the crime scene. He worked as a photographer for El Herlado de Juarez, a regional press title. Mexico is one of the countries where the situation of journalists is the most precarious. According to Reporters Without Borders, the country is one of the most violent for the press in the world and has the sad record of journalists murdered since 2017.
