Héctor Félix Miranda (c. 1941 – April 20, 1988)[1] was a Mexican journalist and columnist of the Tijuana-based Zeta magazine, which reported on corruption and drug trafficking.
In the late 1970s, he began to work for the daily newspaper ABC under Jesús Blancornelas and wrote under the name "Félix el Gato" ("Felix the Cat") to criticize local politicians.
[5] Félix contributed a column titled "A Little of Something", in which he satirized and criticized government officials, particularly those of the long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
[9] Félix Miranda was known in Mexico for his humorous reporting tone that satirized the corrupt doings of local and state officials in his column.
In response to the death of his colleague, Blancornelas issued an ad pressuring the Baja California that read the following, "Jorge Hank Rhon: Why did your bodyguards assassinate me?"
[13] The Zeta directorship condemned the fact that state authorities have closed the case and not identified the mastermind of Félix Miranda's murder.
