US Tourist Shot in Leg at Mexican Caribbean Resort Town
TL;DR
An American tourist was shot in the leg by unidentified assailants in Puerto Morelos, a resort town on Mexico's Caribbean coast. The motive remains under investigation. The U.S. State Department issued a travel alert earlier this month warning travelers to "exercise increased caution" at Mexico's Caribbean beach resorts. There have been a series of brazen acts of violence along the Caribbean coast, including the killing of two Canadians in Playa del Carmen in 2022 and two tourists in Tulum in 2021.
