"Tragedy Strikes: Woman Loses Brother in Mexico, Then Faces Gunman"

Angelita Almeras, a single mother in Mexico, was killed by a gunman while searching for her missing brother, becoming one of eight people killed while searching for missing persons in Mexico since 2021. Despite filing complaints about threats, she received no protection from authorities. President Lopez Obrador claimed she had protection and that the alleged perpetrator had been identified, but those close to Almeras believe her murder is connected to her search work. More than 114,000 people have gone missing in Mexico since 2006, and despite the risks, activists like Almeras's friend Paula Sandoval plan to continue their search for the missing.
