Luis Carlos Santiago Orozco (March 1989 – 16 September 2010), a Mexican, was working as a photographer for the daily newspaper ''El Diario'' in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. He was an intern for ''El Diario'' and was about to be made a staff member at the time of his death. Santiago was the second ''El Diario'' journalist to be murdered in two years. His murder is considered to be part of the Mexican Drug War, although authorities dispute this point, and also involves human rights work. == Death == Santiago had started working for ''El Diario'' as an intern in May and was about to be hired. His colleague Carlos Manuel Sanchez Colunga, 18, had been an intern for several weeks and was also going to be hired. The two were using a car that belonged to lawyer and human rights activist Gustavo de la Rosa Hickerson, who lived in El Paso, Texas, United States. ''El Diario'' reported that Santiago and Sánchez had borrowed the car from de la Rosa's son, who was an editor at the paper, to attend a photography workshop at the Rio Grande mall in the border city of Ciudad Juárez.〔Committee to Protect Journalists. 2010. “Luis Carlos Santiago.” Retrieved September 18, 2011 (CPJ ).〕 The car they were in was hit from behind by another vehicle, from which their attackers opened fire on the journalists with rifles and pistols. The two were shot by unidentified gunmen. Santiago died at the scene of the 2:45 p.m. shooting. Sánchez was hospitalized with serious injuries. Police were investigating whether Gustavo de la Rosa was the intended target, but the motive for the attack is unclear. The newspaper the two journalists had not received any threats and were trainees and were not working on any sensitive story.〔UNESCO.org. 2010. “Mexico: UNESCO Director-General condemns attack against two journalists,” September 27.
