According to a report, the victim was neither a staff nor a guest of the Riu Caribe hotel in Cancun.
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.
According to the article, the hotel issued a statement stating that the victim was neither a visitor nor an employee.
The man’s identify and any details on the gunmen have not yet been disclosed by the authorities.
The 12-year-old child was shot and murdered in the vacation town in July, which is when the most recent incident occurred. Mexican authorities stated at the time that after the youngster was hit by what seemed to be stray gunfire, gunmen on jet skis opened fire on the rival drug dealer on the beach.
In recent years, drug traffickers’ territorial disputes have resulted in the deaths of many tourists staying at resorts along Mexico’s Caribbean coast.
Two Canadians were slain in Playa del Carmen, south of Cancun, in 2022, perhaps as a result of debts between global drug and weapon trafficking organizations.
Two visitors, a German citizen and a California travel blogger who was born in India, were slain at Tulum, farther south, in 2021 when they seemed to get caught in the crossfire of a firefight between competing drug traffickers.
