"Fatal Crossfire: American Woman Killed in Tulum Beach Club Shooting"

An American woman and a man from Belize were killed in a suspected drug dispute at a beach club in Tulum, Mexico. The woman had no connection to the alleged drug dealer also killed in the shooting, and may have been caught in the crossfire. The man was found with cocaine and pills, and was believed to be a dealer. Foreign tourists have been previously killed in drug gang shootouts in Tulum, prompting a U.S. State Department travel alert for increased situational awareness in Mexico's Caribbean beach resorts.
