Roberto Marcos García

Roberto Marcos García (1956 – 21 November 2006) was a Mexican journalist, crime reporter, and deputy editor for Testimonio, a crime-beat magazine based in the port city of Veracruz, Veracruz. He was also a local correspondent in Veracruz for the Mexico City weekly publication Alarma for over a decade.

Dedicated to reporting on the local drug trade and drug-related murders, Marcos García received death threats from organized crime. While traveling on his motorcycle in November 2006, two men ran over him and shot him on his head and chest, killing him instantly. The motives behind his assassination, however, remain unknown.
