Bishop Rafael Romo Muñoz of Tijuana, Mexico, said Wednesday he is not afraid of the results of an investigation into the death of Father Luis Velasquez, who was killed on October 25, because the priest “had nothing negative in his background” and was always a man dedicated to the work of the Church.

“Father Luis Velasquez has nothing negative in his background.  Rather, he was a good man, a promoter of social action and dedicated not only to the parish where he was assigned, but also to his work at the Diocesan Tribunal,” Bishop Romo said during a press conference.

The bishop called on authorities and the general populace to unite in confronting the violence that has swept Tijuana.
