Mexico Prosecutors: Youtuber Killed After Threats From Gang

ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — A woman found slain in Acapulco had been threatened by a drug gang over her YouTube channel and its commentary on local events in the resort city, prosecutors said Tuesday. Guerrero state chief prosecutor Xavier Olea said a gang whose leader split from the Independent Cartel of Acapulco killed Leslie Ann Pamela Montenegro on Monday because she revealed inside information about drug gangs in her videos. Olea said five drug-gang banners had appeared in Acapulco in recent months referring to Montenegro, 36, who was better known by the name of her YouTube persona, "Nana Pelucas." Gangs in Mexico frequently use such banners to accuse public figures of links to rival groups.
