American woman killed in apparent crossfire in a drug dispute at the Mexican beach resort of Tulum
An American woman and a man from Belize have been killed in what appears to have been a dispute between drug dealers at a beach club in the Mexican resort city of Tulum.
An American woman and a man from Belize have been killed in what appears to have been a dispute between drug dealers at a beach club in the Mexican resort city of Tulum, officials confirmed Sunday.
Prosecutors in the Caribbean coast state of Quintana Roo stressed the American woman had no connection to an alleged drug dealer also killed in the shooting Friday night. Prosecutors didn’t provide the woman’s name or hometown, and the U.S. Embassy did not respond to a request for comment.
The woman may have simply been caught in the crossfire. Prosecutors denied reports in local media that the two may have been a couple, saying a photo of the Belizean man showed him with a completely different woman.
Going there in a week… wish me luck lol
I'm there now lol. We fly back to Canada today. It's fine on the resorts, don't hit up the beach clubs.
According to the US State Department Travel Advisory, it's reasonably safe, just keep your eyes open, stay in well traveled areas and avoid "potentially dangerous situations".
It's a beautiful beach.
The cartels own a lot of the resorts over there and purposefully keep them quiet because they are very profitable which mans the people involved are likely going to be murdered for putting profits in jeopardy.
Do not vacation in countries where the number of murders each year is measured in the tens of thousands, they are not safe.
I take it you don't work for the tourist board in the US then 😂
The resorts in that area are behind guarded walls. The woman, judging by the article, was not in resort, but in Tulum city/town, and likely not in those historical ruins.
You can walk down the beach where it's open to anyone. It was a really nice place. I'd rather get shot there than in San Diego or Miami if I had to choose.
