The month of June began tragically as a construction worker was fatally shot on the Puerto Morelos-Cancun highway, near Bahia Petempich. The worker was targeted by criminals in a vehicle who swiftly fled the scene after the attack.
Paramedics from the Puerto Morelos medical dispensary were quick to respond, providing immediate aid to the injured worker. He had sustained a gunshot wound to his jaw and chest.
The victim was quickly transported to the General Hospital of Cancun, under police escort from Puerto Morelos. Despite being promptly admitted to the emergency department, the medical staff were unable to save him.
Sadly, the hospital staff announced his death shortly after his arrival. Following the announcement, forensic technicians took over. They were responsible for removing the body and transferring it to the Forensic Medical Service (Semefo) for further investigation.
