According to a local source, investigators think that two suspects who escaped on jet skis carried out a targeted shooting outside a posh resort in Cancun on Wednesday afternoon, killing a Mexican man in broad daylight.
According to witnesses, two beachgoers approached the male victim on foot just before noon, which is when the shooting behind the Riu Caribe hotel took place, as reported by the Riviera Maya News.
The man, who was shot many times, was thought to be in his 30s. The suspects then went to the shore and climbed into jet skis. The report stated that the suspects were unsuccessfully chased by a marina boat.
