Timeline
José Luis Ortega Mata (1964 – 19 February 2001) was a Mexican journalist and director of the Semanario de Ojinaga, a weekly newspaper based in Ojinaga, Chihuahua in northern Mexico.
With fifteen years of experience as a journalist, Ortega Mata was known for publishing articles about organized crime, political and law enforcement corruption, and drug trafficking. On a February evening in 2001, an unknown gunman shot the journalist twice in the head and killed him. The crime remains unsolved; it is unknown if his assassination was a crime of passion or a reprisal for his work on the Mexican drug cartels.
On the evening of 19 February 2001, Ortega Mata (aged 37) was shot twice on the head with a .22-caliber weapon from close distance in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, killing him on the scene. His bullet-ridden corpse was located by paramedics besides his minivan nearby his home. The motor of his vehicle, as well as its headlights, were on; his camera and wallet were left at the scene.
On 29 April 2001 in Ojinaga, the Chihuahua state authorities arrested a Texas resident named Jesús Manuel Herrera, and charged him with the assassination of Ortega Mata based on a supposed eye-witness account. Many residents of the border city of Presidio, Texas, including its mayor, took the streets and blocked the Presidio–Ojinaga International Bridge as a sign of protest against the arrest. They argued that he had been used as a scapegoat to cover up the real assassin of Ortega Mata. Mr. Herrera proclaimed his innocence and said that he was falsely accused of the crime, but he remained in prison until all charges were dropped by a magistrate and was released on 13 July 2001. In a court hearing two months before, Mr. Herrera's lawyers proved to the magistrate that the person who testified against him was in prison when Ortega Mata died, and that the evidences to convict Mr. Herrera were "insufficient."
Ortega Mata was married to Alicia Cortés and had three kids. He also had two brothers: Toribio, a photographer; and Armando, who served as the director of Prensa Libre newspaper. When he was assassinated in 2001, his family left Ojinaga and emigrated to the United States.
