About five years ago he entered journalism as a photographer, when he was asked to cover the work of a person who did not show up for work. From that moment he kept covering stories of the “red notes”, ie crime reporting, mainly in digital media and social networks.

Currently he worked as a contributor to the digital portal Ocurrió Aquí and was previously a contributor with the reporter Rubén Pat Cauich on the Playa News portal. On several occasions Romero denounced death threats against him.

Almost eight hours ago, Francisco Romero joined his accounts of the various social networks for a call to protect the integrity of Hector Valdez, a colleague reporter from Tulum, who has received threats for practicing his trade of journalism.

On June 29, 2018, reporter José Guadalupe Chan Dzib, a collaborator of Playa News, was murdered in the bar La Baticueva, in the municipality of Felipe Carrillo Puerto. Days later, on July 24, journalist Rubén Pat Cauich was shot dead.

On May 13, an armed attack on Cervercería Chapultepec, also in the Ejidal neighborhood of Playa del Carmen, left one dead and 11 wounded, some of them seriously. Two armed men arrived at the site around 22:00 hours and allegedly shot as revenge for the lack of payment of extortion.

One day later, on May 14, the Government of Quintana Roo assumed security with state police of the municipality of Solidaridad, replacing the municipal agents. This before the situation of “emergency” by the increase of criminal acts related to organized crime, as stated by Governor Carlos Joaquin Gonzalez.

With the death of Romero, at least nine reporters have been killed in the country since last December, when Andrés Manuel López Obrador became president. During the past six years, headed by Enrique Peña Nieto, 47 communicators were murdered.
