Roberto Javier Mora García

Roberto Javier Mora García (c. 1962 – 16 March 2004) was a Mexican journalist and editorial director of ''El Mañana'', a newspaper based in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He worked for a number of media outlets in Mexico, including the ''El Norte'' and ''El Diario de Monterrey'', prior to his assassination.

While on his way home from work, Mora García was stabbed to death 26 times. Two men were eventually arrested and charged with the killing, but a number of independent organizations have complained on the irregularities and coverups in the investigation. They believe that Mora García was killed for his extensive coverage on the Mexican drug cartels, political corruption, and organized crime, but the motive of his assassination is still unsolved.
