Suspects flee on jet skis after man shot, ******* near luxury Cancun hotel – National

Authorities in Mexico are investigating the daylight ********* of a man outside a luxury beach resort in Cancun in what prosecutors are calling a “targeted *******.”

The man, a ******** national, was ******* after two people approached him in Cancun’s Hotel Zone and shot him to ******, the attorney general’s office for the state of Quintana Roo wrote in a press release.

shows the man’s body lying in the sand. Witnesses told police that the two suspects walked up to the man on the beach, shot him several times, then boarded jet skis and fled.

The identity of the deceased man has not been released by authorities.

A spokesperson for RIU Hotels & Resorts told Global News that the incident occurred in front of the Riu Palace Las Americas hotel. The man who was ******* was not a guest or employee, the hotel chain said, and no guests or staff members were harmed in the *********.

Prosecutors later revealed that the man who was ******* may have been involved in an earlier ********* in Cancun’s Hotel Zone and that the ******* could be tied to the ***** trade.

On July 28, a minor was shot and ******* in the same area. Authorities believe the man gunned down Wednesday was one of two suspects who arrived at the beach on a jet ski, shot the child, then fled the scene.

“The now deceased was allegedly driving the jet ski,” that day, prosecutors wrote.

on a beach in Cancun after he was caught in the middle of a dispute between rival ***** dealers. The boy was a local resident who was with his family at the beach when he was apparently hit by stray bullets. He later ***** in the hospital.

The case of the child’s ******* may also be connected to an even earlier ******, a bus ********* on July 1. Prosecutors say two people were ******* on a bus that was travelling on Kukulcan Boulevard, the main road that passes through Cancun’s Hotel Zone.

After Wednesday’s *********, multiple agencies responded to the scene, including the navy, army personnel, the National Guard and municipal police.
