translated from Spanish: The head of impressions of the Tamaulipas Express dies

Juan Antonio Escamilla, head of the printing workshops of the Tamaulipas Express, died from the gunshot wounds he suffered last Tuesday, in his mechanical workshop, confirmed the local environment itself.
He had remained in hospital after being shot five times, but failed to recover and on Saturday his death was confirmed.
“Following the attack, the causes of which are still unknown, the protection mechanism was activated to provide security for him and his family members. Special surveillance measures were also established for THE EXPRESS facilities, run by state police.
Our partner was discharged in the company years ago and during most of this time he led the operation of the rotary on which this newspaper is printed,” Expreso said on his website.
“John was always noted for his honesty, seriousness and dedication to the work,” he added.
The director of the rotativo, Pedro Alfonso García, said of the attack that there are several theories, although an investigation is underway, and there are no conclusions yet.
“As he leaves the newspaper too late, he witnessed a criminal act and was summoned to testify, and he did not want to report to the authorities; it could also be that they asked him for the floor fee for the service he provides in his mechanical workshop, and that he has not agreed to pay,” he said.
Alfonso García recalled in an interview that the newspaper Expreso de Ciudad Victoria has been targeted.
In March 2012, an explosive device was placed that caused damage to the property; in December last year, someone left a human head in a cooler, in front of the rotary one.
“Here various criminal groups operate, you don’t know what interests you’re going to hurt, the truth is still a difficult situation,” Alfonso Garcia said.
On 12 June, the murder of journalist Norma Sarabia Garduza was reported; so far as the current government was going to reach the number of nine inslate informants.
