MEXICO CITY (AP) A radio news host was shot to death Tuesday in southern Mexico, bringing to at least 32 the number of Mexican journalists killed the past 5½ years.
Fernando Valenzuela, the chief prosecutor of the Gulf coast state of Tabasco, said radio host Juan Carlos Huerta was killed in his car by gunmen traveling in another vehicle.
The attackers pulled up to Huerta's car, then ran into the vehicle, forcing him to stop. A man got out and shot Huerta before fleeing. Two .45-caliber shell casings were found at the scene.

Mexico's National Human Rights Commission and the Inter-American Press Society condemned the killing. The latter noted that the murder occurred on the one-year anniversary of the killing of internationally-recognized Mexican journalist Javier Valdez.
