Tatiana Mirutenko and her husband, James Hoover, were at a taqueria on Saturday with two friends in the exclusive Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood of the capital when the gunmen opened fire on a bouncer inside the establishment, according to a statement from the Mexico City attorney general's office.
...
Hoover and Mirutenko were celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary with three other couples and were trying to dine at as many Michelin-star restaurants as possible, reported CNN affiliate WLS in Chicago, where the woman's family lives.
Mirutenko, a Hawthorn Woods, Illinois, native, attended Clemson University, where she played Division I volleyball, and she worked for a San Francisco-based biopharmaceutical company.
Clemson economics professor Raymond Sauer said he doesn't remember many students from five years ago, but Mirutenko is an exception. She was "especially intelligent," worked hard and was often engaging others, he said. She was a staple in the economics department and was never afraid to ask questions or discuss course work.
"She was charting a course for her life, and really always thinking about the future and working really hard. ... You knew she would go places. This is why this death is so ironic -- a person like that would get caught up in something so random."
Her employer said she brought many of those same character traits to work.

Like you I heeded good advice. In 1954, I was assigned to a large ship stationed in Long Beach, California.
On my second liberty weekend I mentioned to a buddy that I wanted to see MEXICO, so I’d planned to go to Tijuana. A real old, mid 30’s, First Class got up, marched over to me and, with a look in his eyes, said merely, “HELL NO!!”
As weeks went by, I heard enough to still feel a debt of gratitude for the advice, however sternly given.
Great point; why would you go to a place where people want to get out of. The last time I was in Mexico was 1990 in Acapulco. The cops target tourists who are driving rental cars and shake them down. I had to keep a ten dollar bill in my shirt pocket to give to them every time they stopped me. Three times in one week for total BS reasons. Acapulco was corrupt then, but it is downright deadly now.
Just more leftist bliss ninnies not understanding the reality of the world
And it’s the world they seek to inflict on us
Mexico such a safe country with refined culture if drug trade. The Democratic Party’s perception of the perfect society. Lets eliminate ICE, block the wall eliminate the border.
LOL!
Per post #16:
U.S. government employees are prohibited from travel to the entire state of Guerrero, including Acapulco.
You dont have to go to tijuana to see Mexico. You want to see Mexico, go to Los Angeles.
I’m not sure I’d have LOL’d at this story, but unlike ALL Democrats I know, I believe in 1A.
Thanks, haven’t visited the Copro State since 1982.
Have since been to Seedy Cozumel off a ship, but wished I’d stayed aboard.
I have never been to Mexico. No need to go. But I have to add that I was really offended when Obama announced that ‘maybe we will have to learn Spanish’ to accommodate the illegals coming across the border. I was offended but I didn’t go out and protest...I am a Conservative.
I couldn’t help it. There’s three humorous elements in the title alone.
1. San Francisco woman. (No chance it’s anything other than a Democrat)
2. Actually chose to go to Mexico. (And a very stupid Democrat at that)
3. Killed by a stray bullet. (Rich irony)
It made me LOL, what can I say.
I don’t understand tourism to a shi&-hole like mexico!
Conservatives protest. They have to.
The Americans who took a stand in Murietta helped pave the way (even if a in only a small way) for MAGA.
Why would anyone go to that sh!thole?
You can get killed by Mexicans right here........
Mexico has some world-class restaurants. Your limited life experience is nothing to advertise.
“New” Mexico is missing a helluva marketing opportunity for travel.

Get bent Romulus.
I’ve travelled all over Mexico and have dined at many gourmet dining locations. I stand by my reasoning that it’s not worth it. It’s Mexico, a third world shithole were people go to try to save money. My life and the lives of my family members are worth more than the few bucks saved on overpriced tacos.
“People who go to Mexico are stupid. Even the Mexicans don’t want to be in Mexico.”
The exact same thing with the exact same people present could have just as easily taken place in Chicago, San Francisco, NYC, or any other sanctuary city.
It did, ever hear of Kate Steinle? Shooter was also a Mexican criminal.
