Mexican authorities have confirmed that two people have been arrested in connection with the deaths of four men in the popular tourist destination of Cancun. The killings are believed to be related to drug gang rivalries.
The state of Quintana Roo offered a $50,000 reward for the arrest of drug gang leader Hector Flores Aceves, known by his nickname “Pantera,” or “The Panther,” who is believed to be involved in the killings.
The four men were found dead near a hotel in Cancun on Monday. The state prosecutor’s office confirmed earlier on Monday that three people had been found dead and an investigation was opened.
Local security cameras and the joint work of local authorities helped lead to the arrest of the two suspects, who are allegedly engaged in the sale and distribution of narcotics.
The same reward was offered for Flores Aceves’ arrest since a series of attacks and killings at bars in Cancun in May 2022. The investigation into the deaths is ongoing and more details are expected to emerge in the coming days.
