Journalist who reported on extortion shot dead, prosecutor's office bombed in Peru
Updated on: January 21, 2025 / 6:27 AM EST / CBS/AFP
A journalist who reported on Peru's extortion epidemic was shot dead on Monday and two people were injured in a separate bomb attack on a prosecutor's office that also investigates racketeering, authorities said.
Gaston Medina, the owner and editor of a regional TV channel, was gunned down as he was leaving his house in the south-central city of Ica, the country's National Association of Journalists (ANP) said in a statement.
He was shot multiple times by gunmen and declared dead on his arrival at hospital, the ANP added.
"The ANP will remain vigilant so that this crime does not go unpunished," the group said.
