Four alleged Cancun gang members detained in daylight murder of rival member

Cancun, Q.R. — Cancun detectives spent the weekend trying to determine if four alleged Cancun gang members are those responsible for the killing of a man from a rival group.

The four males were arrested at 4:00 p.m. July 15 by Municipal Police with support from agents from the National Anti-Kidnapping Coordination. They were taken into custody as persons of interest in the June 28 daylight shooting of a rival gang leader.

The man killed, 35-year-old Francisco Alberto N, was shot to death in the driveway of a Cancun house he had rented in the name of another person. While removing his items from the house, he was gunned down.

Cancun authorities later identified him as a generator of violence in the northern region of the state.

The four taken in for questioning, JosĂ© “D”, Alberto “R”, Luis Francisco “R” and JesĂºs Miguel “H”, are being investigated for their possible participation in his murder. They are believed to be members of a rival criminal group called the AsĂ³nalos Cartel.
