These stories should be accompanied by whatever the journalist was researching that made them a target. I've never heard of Roberto Toledo until now, and my only knowledge of him shouldn't be that he's dead. Searching his name says that he was a cameraman and his employer was "reporting on corrupt administration and corrupt officials" but surely this is the time to be specific.

Per the Reuters article linked in this one[1], the outlet he worked at "had been receiving threats, which it reported to local authorities, as a result of its sustained reporting on corruption in local government." [1]: https://www.reuters.com/article/mexico-violence/mexican-medi...
Great idea on surfacing reports that was worked on of killed journalists.
