More violence in Cancún: on the afternoon of Wednesday, October 28, one person was killed and another was injured. The incident took place on the streets of the Cielo Nuevo residential development. It was reported that three individuals have been taken into custody. According to reports, the incident occurred on Isla Sumatra Street in this development—located in Region 249 of the Benito Juárez municipality—where the victim had arrived by motorcycle. Witnesses stated that after getting off his vehicle, the victim was gunned down, sustaining multiple gunshot wounds to his head, back, and an arm. A second person—apparently a passerby—was also struck by gunfire. Local residents called the 911 emergency line to request assistance. Upon arrival, municipal police officers from Benito Juárez—the first responders—spotted individuals fleeing on foot toward the Paseos del Mar residential development. Following a pursuit, Cancún police officers apprehended three individuals on Isla de Pascua Street in Region 251. It was reported that these individuals were in possession of firearms, which they allegedly used to kill one man and injure another person.
