Monsignor José Luis Muratalla said that journalism is a risky profession and prayed that those who practice it listen to their vocation and mission to obtain the truth and know how to stay away from temptations.

THEY KILLED PACO STANLEY. Mexico City Francisco Stanley died the victim of an attack in which he received four of 24 .40 caliber bullets, fired by at least four hitmen who surprised him outside a restaurant in Periférico Sur. The murderers managed to escape after the murder, but the police already have a spoken portrait of one of them. The television host’s Lincoln Navigator truck was leaving the parking lot of the El Charco de las Ranas restaurant when he was shot. In the fray, the 56-year-old comedian and Jesús Núñez, a diner who, by chance, was in the place, lost their lives. Journalist Jorge Gil, a passerby, as well as Núñez’s wife were injured. The devastating spectacle of the pierced car remained at the crime scene for more than two hours, during which time dozens of preventive and judicial police, photographers, cameramen, reporters, officials and security personnel from a television company gathered. as well as curious people who, embarrassed, took on the task of making all kinds of speculations. The DF Attorney General, Samuel del Villar, would establish what the emotion of the first moments prevented him from noticing: the way in which the events developed was unrelated to a possible attempted robbery or a kidnapping. It was an attack. From inside the restaurant, Stanley’s inseparable companion, Mario Bezares, said that the waiters told him to hide, that he should not leave there.

Sylva Mónica Ruffo Kelly, who completed her basic and high school studies in Los Mochis, stayed two years in El Centro, California, where she perfected the English language. She joined El Debate in September 1994 as a translator and later, in 2000, she became an assistant to the Editorial Team of El Debate de Los Mochis, tasks that led her to take charge of the entertainment page for more than 10 years and the newspaper archive. Upon the death of the City Chronicler, Don Evaristo Fregoso, in September 2003, who wrote the Los Mochis column 50 and 25 years ago, Ruffo Kelly took over the history column, which he later changed to Mi Ciudad 50 and 25 years, in which he narrates what happened in those years on the same day of publication of the newspaper EL DEBATE of Los Mochis.
