TL;DR

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 Belizean man was found with cocaine and pills, and the suspects are being sought by authorities. This incident follows previous cases of foreign tourists being caught in drug gang shootouts in the once-tranquil beach resort, prompting a travel alert from the U.S. State Department.
