An American woman was killed in a shootout in the Mexican resort area of Tulum during an apparent drug deal gone bad. The incident also resulted in the death of an alleged drug dealer from Belize. The prosecutor’s office is investigating the case and has identified suspects, but none have been named yet. Tulum has seen previous incidents of gang-related violence, and the U.S. has issued warnings about travel to certain parts of Mexico due to gang violence.
