The leader of a civilian group that has spent the last 10 months searching for bodies of 43 missing students and others in the hills of Mexico's Guerrero state was found shot to death in his taxi, authorities said.
Miguel Ángel Jiménez Blanco, 45, was killed early Saturday night on the outskirts of Xaltianguis, the town where he lived that is about an hour’s drive from the resort town of Acapulco. His body was found slumped in the driver's seat of the taxi he owned, a gunshot wound in his head.
In addition to driving the cab, he was a member of a local community police group.
