<p>A mother who waged a two-year battle to bring her daughter&#8217;s killer to justice has been shot dead &#8211; possibly by the same man suspected of murdering the teenager.</p>
<p>A security video recording shows masked men pulling up in a car in front of the governor&#8217;s office in the northern city of Chihuahua. One appeared to exchange words with anti-crime crusader Marisela Escobedo Ortiz, who was holding a vigil outside.</p>
<p>She tried to flee by running across the street, but the gunman chased her down and shot her in the head, state prosecutor Jorge Gonzalez said.</p>
<p>Ms Escobedo was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where she died within minutes.</p>
<p>On Friday, a group of demonstrators gathered outside the Interior Department in Mexico City to protest the killing, briefly scuffling with police while chanting: &#8220;Not one more death&#8221;.</p>
<p>And far to the north in Ciudad Juarez, where Ms Escobedo&#8217;s 17-year-old daughter&#8217;s burned and dismembered remains were found in a rubbish bin in June 2009, activists protested outside the state prosecutors office with signs demanding &#8220;Justice for Marisela&#8221;.</p>
<p>Thursday&#8217;s killing &#8220;shows that in Mexico it is the victim who suffers, without protection,&#8221; veteran anti-crime activist Alejandro Marti said.</p>
<p>The scandal resulted in the suspension of three judges who had ordered the release of the main suspect in the daughter&#8217;s killing after he was absolved by a court in April for lack of evidence.</p>
<p>That man, Sergio Barraza, is now a chief suspect in the mother&#8217;s death, said Carlos Gonzalez, a spokesman for the attorney general&#8217;s office in Chihuahua state, where Ciudad Juarez is located.</p>
<p>Ms Escobedo&#8217;s daughter, Rubi Frayre Escobedo, disappeared in Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas, in 2008. After her body was discovered last year, Rubi&#8217;s mother launched a campaign pressing for a conviction in the case. Ms Escobedo staged numerous marches, once wearing no clothes, wrapped only in a banner with her daughter&#8217;s photograph.</p>
