Spate of Violence Continues in Cancun as 5 Arrested and 8 Found Dead Near Beachside Hotels

Five suspects have been arrested in connection with the suspected cartel killings of four Mexican nationals in the hotel zone of Cancún.

Despite the incident, Mexican officials have reassured tourists that they are safe and that the incident did not pose a risk to visitors, hotel employees, or businesses. The incident is the latest blow to Mexico's tourism reputation, which has already been impacted by previous incidents of violence.
