REUTERS/Jose Luis Gonzalez Acquire Licensing RightsCIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico, Nov 16 (Reuters) - A Mexican photojournalist was killed in Ciudad Juarez in the early hours of Thursday while working as a ride-share driver, authorities and his employer said. In Mexico, many journalists work outside of the profession to pay the bills. Investigators have not ruled out the possibility that Villagomez was killed due to his work as a journalist, said Salas. "A journalist is a journalist 24 hours a day, whether or not they were working as something else meanwhile," Salas said, adding that Villagomez's cellphone was missing from the scene.
