A horrifying incident unfolded on a Friday afternoon in Cancún's region 233 when an armed assailant murdered a man inside his own home. Just before 8 PM, emergency services received reports of gunshots emanating from a residential property in the area.
Local police were the first to arrive at the scene, where they discovered a severely injured man lying in a pool of blood. The officers immediately cordoned off the crime scene and urgently requested an ambulance.
Around 15 minutes later, paramedics from the Mexican Red Cross arrived on the scene. However, they could only confirm the grim reality: the victim had already succumbed to his injuries.
Detectives from the Specialized Prosecutor's Office in Homicides were called in to commence an investigation. Forensic Services personnel were also requested to collect evidence and remove the body from the scene.
The victim was reportedly a marquesita vendor, a popular street food seller in the area. Disturbingly, it appears he had been targeted by the hitman for some time. Despite pleas from his family to leave his home for his safety, the man tragically did not heed their warnings.
