Gunman shoots three Canadians in Playa del Carmen, with foreigners again caught up in drug cartel violence
The state prosecutor’s office later tweeted that a second Canadian had died of their injuries.
The first person who died – identified as ATCH – “had a criminal record: drug trafficking, use of a false identity, among other things”, the office said.
ATCH “was considered a very dangerous person in Canada”, state prosecutor Óscar Montes de Oca Rosales told Radio Fórmula.
The second deceased victim, RJD, “also had a criminal history”, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Looks like a drug deal gone bad. In Mexico. I’m shocked.
