The body of a Guanajuato photojournalist was found yesterday in Valle de Santiago. He had been shot to death.

García was also on a motorcycle, which was found parked near his body.

He was a photographer of social events and a correspondent for several regional newspapers.

He is the ninth journalist to be assassinated in Mexico this year.
