Gunmen riding jet skis reportedly targeted a rival drug dealer on a beach in Cancun, resulting in the tragic death of a 12-year-old boy. The incident occurred in the resort town of Cancun, where the boy was fatally wounded by gunfire while relaxing on a lounge chair with his family. Mexican authorities confirmed that the boy succumbed to his injuries at a nearby hospital following the shooting. Prosecutors have revealed that the intended targets of the gunmen were involved in a drug-related dispute, leading to the fatal shooting of the young boy who was caught in the crossfire. This incident sheds light on the ongoing territorial conflicts between drug dealers that have claimed the lives of innocent bystanders, including tourists, along Mexico's Caribbean coast in recent years. In similar tragedies, two Canadians were killed in Playa del Carmen in 2022, and two tourists lost their lives in Tulum in 2021, further highlighting the deadly consequences of disputes between rival drug trafficking groups.
