Journalist shot dead in northeastern Paraguay

MADRID, 15 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Journalist Alexander Álvarez was shot to death this Tuesday in the Paraguayan city of Pedro Juan Caballero, in the Amambay region, located on the border with Brazil.

According to a preliminary report, the reporter was inside his vehicle when several unknown individuals shot him from a motorcycle, reports the Monumental 1080 AM radio station.

The commander of the Amambay Police, Jorge Villadet, has indicated that it is not ruled out that the murder had as its background a mistaken objective on the part of the perpetrator, without providing further details.

His partner Raúl Ortiz has indicated that Álvarez did not receive any threat, so they do not know the reason for the attack. "We do not know what the background is. He did not communicate, he did not report anything about whether he ever had an incident with someone," according to the ABC station.

"Our partner did not present programs with controversies, issues related to drug trafficking or the border area," said his partner, before adding that his death "is a blow" against his "passion, journalism."
