Jose Guadalupe Chan, a reporter for a news website in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, has been shot dead, the state-s prosecutor and the site Chan worked for said today.

Chan -- at least the sixth Mexican journalist to be killed this year -- was at a bar in the indigenous community of Felipe Carillo Puerto when he was attacked by an unknown person. "The cause of death was bullet wounds," the Quintana Roo prosecutor said in a statement.
