I asked Javier Valdez to smile for a shot for a friend in Colombia. He took a break from his @riodoce column to say hi in his own way pic.twitter.com/yd9NLMihlG

Tears in my eyes, hearing of the murder of Javier Valdez Cardenas in Culiacan, one of the best writers and journalists of Mexico. TRAGEDY.
