"She didn’t think so. In her opinion, he was targeted for his work writing about the drug trade." We can relate in Coatesville. I drive by the home on Walnut St. where Sonny’s children watched him gunned down

"RIO DE JANEIRO — What do you say about a death as horrific as this? What do you say about a man who was murdered by two masked intruders inside his home, in front of his family, while they ate dinner? What do you say, except: His name was Leo, and he was a journalist, and I knew him. 

In the parlance of foreign correspondence, Leo Veras, 52, was my fixer. A beat reporter in the lawless border town of Ponta Porã — where Brazil’s most powerful gangs wage war for control of smuggling routes — he helped me report a recent story on the illegal pesticides trade. He arranged interviews with cops, ­politicians and crooks. He introduced me to his wife and two young children. He shared every meal with me. He made me laugh. He made me promise I wouldn’t leave the hotel without him. He kept me safe...

I asked her a question whose potential answer had terrified me since I learned of Leo’s death. Did she think that the story we’d reported together — which had published only days before his murder — had something to do with his death?

She didn’t think so. In her opinion, he was targeted for his work writing about the drug trade."

"I've never murdered. I never will. But (snitch on) me and I'll get you killed," said a man in the DVD, who authorities identified as Duron Peoples on the DVD. 

Peoples faces three counts of criminal attempted homicide and related offenses for allegedly shooting Jonas "Sonny" Suber on April 1, 2006. Peoples is awaiting trial. Suber's hand and chest were grazed during the shooting, according to reports. After several months of investigating, the U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force arrested Peoples on Dec. 18, 2006, in Phoenix, Ariz. 

Between the first shooting and Peoples' arrest, Suber was shot and killed at the front door of his Coatesville home on Oct. 21, 2006. The investigation continues. No arrests have been made.”

PAID HIT ALLEGED

The United States has a long history of murdering journalists.

"After cozying up to a dictator who has terrorized his own people and threatened the United States with nuclear holocaust, Donald Trump had some thoughts about who he sees as America’s true enemies. “So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN,” the president tweeted, claiming that the networks were downplaying his meeting with Kim Jong Un. “Our Country’s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!”

This line of attack isn’t new, and it’s easy to become desensitized to the slander after 17 months of Trump in office. But that doesn’t make the president’s rhetoric any less outrageous. Trump’s spurious claims cast the media as out to get him, an argument that provides an outlet for anger among his supporters and undermines real reporting that is critical of his actions. The specter of the Mueller investigation, and whatever conclusions it comes to concerning his circle’s misdeeds, is never far from the surface of these attacks."
