Two Mexican journalists from the news website El Veraz—Yesenia Mollinedo, the director, and Sheila Johana García, a reporter—were shot to death Monday, said the state’s attorney general, Verónica Hernández. The women were killed while sitting in a vehicle parked outside of a convenience store, Univision reported. (NPR)
