Roberto Carlos Figueroa was murdered after being kidnapped in Morelos. Here’s a look at who the journalist and producer was.

​

According to local media, the journalist was known for his critical stance on the state administration, led until March 2024 by Cuauhtémoc Blanco.

​

On social media, he was known as Huictin or as a character called Puercomandante, and, according to friends who shared their condolences upon learning of his death, he was a highly professional individual with an edgy and irreverent personality.

​

The victim’s body was found on a dirt road after an anonymous tip. According to authorities, the journalist’s wife received several calls demanding a ransom.

​

Despite gathering the money and leaving it where the kidnappers specified, Roberto Carlos was not released. His body was found in his vehicle in the town of Coajomulco, Huitzilac.

​

n response to these events, the state government issued a statement condemning the kidnapping and murder of the journalist, demanding that the Morelos Attorney General’s Office find those responsible.

​

So far, no additional information is available regarding these events or the operation to capture those responsible for the homicide.
