Nahúm Palacios Arteaga († March 14, 2010 in Tocoa , Honduras ) was a Honduran journalist and reporter .

The man in his mid-thirties, Palacios Arteaga, was news chief of the television channel Canal 5 in Aguán and also worked for a news program for Radio Tocoa in the department of Colón on the Caribbean coast. The investigative journalist reported on drug trafficking, violent crime, local politics and a conflict between farmers and landowners in the Aguán region. In 2009, he had received death threats several times. On March 14, 2010, two cars came alongside his car and masked perpetrators shot him with AK-47 rifles . The car was riddled with 42 shots.

In addition to him, four other journalists, Joseph Hernández Ochoa , David Meza , Bayardo Mairena , whose assistant Manuel Juárez died, and Luis Antonio Chevez, were murdered in March 2010 in Honduras.
