Cancún 24 hour narco death toll rises to three, with six victims since Jan. 1

Following Friday's execution of two men in a stolen cab, Cancún police have reported the murder of still another man in the city's environs. The victim, who has not yet been identified, was found about 7:00 a.m. yesterday (Feb. 11) in a wooded area. His hands were taped behind his back and he had been shot in the head twice with a .9 mm weapon, according to forensic experts. Local authorities said the case is plainly another organized crime murder.

Update Feb. 13: Investigators said today that all three murders were likely committed by the same assailants (based upon the firearm caliber, primarily). They also say all three men were probably independent drug retailers. That's undoubtedly what got them killed.
