MEXICO CITY (AP) — Two Canadians were ****** Friday and one more ******* in a ******** at a hotel along Mexico’s Caribbean coast, state authorities said.
Quintana Roo state security chief Lucio Hernandez said via Twitter that authorities were searching for a Hotel Xcaret guest in the ********. He shared a photo of a man walking with a handgun.
The Xcaret resort is south of Playa del Carmen.
Authorities said all three ******* were taken to a hospital, but two ****.
The Quintana Roo state prosecutor’s office said via Twitter that the suspect in the ******** was also apparently a guest and Canadian ****** informed them he was a known felon with a long record related to robbery, **** and ******* offenses. The office said both of the **** also had criminal records.
It is just the latest brazen act of ******** along Mexico’s famed Mayan Riviera, the crown jewel of its tourism industry.
In ********, a shootout on the beach of Puerto Morelos left two suspected **** dealers ****. Authorities said there were some 15 ****** from a **** that apparently disputed control of **** sales there.
In late October, farther south in the laidback destination of Tulum, two tourists — one a California travel blogger born in India and the other German — were caught in the apparent crossfire of rival **** dealers and ******.
