David Meza (journalist)
David Meza Montesinos (1959 – March 11, 2010) was a Honduran radio journalist. He reported for the El Patio radio station for more than 30 years before his murder in 2010.[1] Meza was also a general assignment correspondent for the Radio America national broadcaster.[2]
Meza, who investigated drug trafficking within Honduras, reportedly received death threats in 2010, according to the El Tiempo newspaper.[1] Meza was shot and killed at approximately 5:30 p.m. on March 11, 2010, while driving near his home in the northern Honduran city of La Ceiba.[1][2] The shots, which were fired from another vehicle, caused Meza's car to crash into a house.[1] He was 51 years old.[1] His funeral, which was attended by thousands of people, was held in La Ceiba.[1]
The La Tribuna paid tribute to Meza, calling him a "journalist of the people."[1] Meza was one of five Honduran journalists to be killed in the country during March 2010.[3]
