Martínez was a communicator of the digital medium «El Hijo del Llanero Solititito» and had already suffered an attack at the end of November 2022, when armed men went to look for him at his home.
According to reports, Alejandro Martínez went to cover an accident in the municipality of Villagrán and when he returned to Celaya a van reached the police unit in which he was traveling and shot at the crew.
The officer who was driving took his partner, who was injured in the incident, and Alejandro Martínez to a hospital, but the reporter had already lost his life due to a gunshot wound to the head.
There has been no statement of claim as to whether the attack was against elements of the Security Secretariat in the town of Celaya or against the reporter.
The officers served as escorts for Alejandro and were part of the security measures that had been implemented after the attack he suffered at his home.
These are the events that occurred when on November 28, 2022, Alejandro Martínez reported that two armed men attempted to kill him in his family home.
«Friends tried to kill me, here in my mother’s house», said the communicator at that time on an internet transmission. He said that a man touched the house of his mother, located in the colony Valle Hermoso.
