MEXICO CITY -- The brother of a journalist slain in Oaxaca said Friday that he believes state officials were likely involved in the death and asked federal investigators here to take over the case.

In a news conference wrapping up the family's weeklong visit to Mexico City and Oaxaca, where Bradley Roland Will was killed on Oct. 27, Craig Will said federal officials have agreed to look over the evidence after the family raised concerns about the state prosecutors' handling of the investigation.

But the federal Attorney General's Office hasn't yet officially taken over the inquiry.

Craig Will, 38, said new witnesses gave testimony to federal officials, recounting how Will was shot to death while filming amid violent protests against the state government in Oaxaca, 220 miles southeast of Mexico City.
