Ciani tweets an emotional video, pleading for the help of President Pena and Osorio Chong
The sister of ESPN commentator Odin Ciani was gunned down today in Tijuana. Doctor Alma Angélica Ciani González, was in her Cuauhtémoc Blvd medical clinic.
Doctor Ciani was in her office with her children and mother when gunmen arrived and executed the doctor, in cold blood, in full view of her family.
Witnesses in surrounding shops report seeing the sicarios arrive and drove to the rear parking area, gaining entry from there.
In his video appeal to President Pena, the journalist asks Enrique Peña Nieto and Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong to help with the issue (of runaway violence and murders up 30%) because "we cannot continue living like this". The ESPN communicator is visibly affected during the video.
The country is in a very urgent situation because as Odin himself said , "today it was his turn but tomorrow it can touch you."
So far neither Peña Nieto nor Osorio Chong have spoken about it. This is the second time that a relative of an ESPN sports commentator has been murdered in less than two weeks ; A few weeks ago Raphael, the brother of Julio César Chávez former boxing champ and current analyst of the television station) was also executed. He reached out to Odin on twitter.
Raphael (above) was murdered in his Sinaloa home, in front of his family. The perps entered from the rear of the house. Authorities claim he resisted the robbery.
