The Quintana Roo Prosecutor’s Office reported the start of an investigation into a Tulum restaurant shooting that left two dead. The armed attack happened Saturday night at Art Beach at kilometer 7 of the Tulum-Bocapaila highway.
According to preliminary reports, armed subjects arrived at the beach shortly after 9:00 p.m. and opened fire on what appears to be a targeted attack. Two young men were killed and another left with injuries in the restaurant shooting.
The injured, an unidentified 24-year-old man, was transferred to hospital by ambulance where he is said to be in stable condition.
Elements of the National Guard and local police cordoned off the scene for investigative purposes.
On social media, the Prosecutor’s Office reported that it had started an investigation for the events and activated the search and tracking protocols to identify those responsible for the attack. No further details were provided.

Still safer than Chicago or Atlanta.
I don’t believe any LEO in Mexico has had to deal with alleged hate deaths.
Americans are causing the resort drug wars.
Don’t buy drugs in Mexico.
WHY would anyone with a functioning, cogent brain, go to the Turd World, for a “vacation”?
Yup. Probable turf war.
The Mexican face of White Supreemism, I’m sure. “Gun violence” and all.
If dead is dead is hate-dead deader?
I’m glad we visited Tulum many years ago. Wouldn’t go now.
More deaderer.
Even Miracle Max can’t help.
It was magnificent in the 1980s. So glad I saw it.
We were there six years ago, not far north of Tulum.
Our resort was five stars all the way (Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun). Food, acccommodations, everything, especially the food.
We took a cab from the resort into Playa Del Carmen (the nearest town) and we both had the same idea. From the main highway into town, it was pretty much a slum, and we were both thinking the same thing (not voiced so as not offend the local cab driver). “If we don’t see six Americans who aren’t running for their lives, we’re not getting out of this cab.”
But, once we got to the tourist promenade, all was well and we had a great time, being offered cocaine while the Mexican police were 30 feet away.
Nevertheless, I would highly recommend vacationing in that area. I went on a wilderness walk all by my blonde, blue-eyed, white, American self in the woods next to our resort. Saw a herd of wild pigs, a couple of iguanas in trees, and a minivan full of questionable characters who I waved to and they waved back, but I emerged unscathed. I didn’t see a jaguar, but I understand they frequent those areas.
We loved every minute of our trip and want to go again
Mex gov is trying to make Tulum another Cancun. Port area has cruise-ship retail but the rest is ‘in progress’.
I’ve been there. Its basically Mayan ruins connected by a dirt road with roadside taco stands. It’s very much off the beaten path.
Last time the wife and I were in that area (Jan. 2019) there was a big drug gang shootout in downtown Cancun. Don’t know if or how many people died, but Tulum itself was a real treat, from a beauty and historical perspective.
We gifted a week of our time share to her parents back in 2015. They went to Mazatlán. While they were there, there was a major drug gang shootout in the center of town. Killed a bunch of baddies.
Mexico is a failed narco-terrorist state, and has been for decades. For now, as long as you stick to the designated tourist zones, you’ll be OK to visit, briefly. Too bad. It has so much to offer....
We were robbed at gunpoint by Mexican cops (or someone pretending to be cops) on the beach near Zihuatanejo in 1974. Haven’t been back.
