Film director killed in Mexico City robbery
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Officials in Mexico City say that a film director has been stabbed to death in an apparent robbery attempt.
The city prosecutor's office says the director and his son were attacked by two men, who demanded they hand over their valuables. The director was apparently killed when he resisted the attackers.
The office did not identify the 54-year-old victim by name, but local news media identify him as Leon Serment.
Serment is credited as director of the 2010 film "Tequila Effect," a thriller about the 1994 peso crisis.
The area where the killing occurred is not frequented by tourists.
