Then, at lunchtime on 17 January 2022, as the 49-year-old set off from his home, he was murdered. He is one of at least eight Mexican journalists to have been killed this year. Before he died, Emilio Espejel, a local film-maker, profiled his work.

Is that Guillermo's brother, he really looks like him. You know Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel
Legalize all drugs worldwide
Much Love
What a tragic story. But him and other men and women like him are hero and will never be forgotten for what they did.
My heart and prayers go for all the people who got caught in these mishappenings. Journalism in such a violent place requires quite a lot of guts. R.I.P
He has a lot of courage and caring in his soul.
Mexico seems like a really dangerous place.
Journalists need to stop seeing this as a war zone. It's much more dangerous than that. In a war zone soldiers want publicity, in Mexico if you call attention to someone you'll be killed.
Journalists are the spotlights. ❤️ Eight killed this year jeezzz
I would not go there even if it was paid for the Criminals are in charge
Descansa en paz.
Rest in Peace 🙏🏾
DEP
