SAN DIEGO — Veteran journalist Margarito Martínez Esquivel climbed into his truck Monday, just after lunch, heading out to cover yet another violent crime in one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
Moments later, he was shot dead in his driveway.
Hiram Sánchez Zamora, chief prosecutor for central Baja California, said Tuesday a 9mm handgun used to kill Martínez had been used in five other violent crimes in the Sanchez Taboada area of Tijuana since 2020.
