What's Edgar Pantaleón Fernández Fleitas's story?
Edgar Pantaleón Fernández Fleitas was shot dead by an assailant who entered his law offices in his home in the northern city of Concepción before fleeing on a motorcycle with a man who waited outside, according to news reports. Fernández, a general practice attorney, had returned home from hosting his radio program “City of Fury” (“Ciudad de la furia”), which aired on weekdays on the community radio station Belén Comunicaciones. The program was harshly critical of local judges, lawyers, and officials in the Attorney General’s office, all of whom the journalist accused of corruption, according to news reports.
