MEXICO CITY, Mexico — Two men, apparently Mexican tourists, were killed Friday and a woman was wounded in a shooting not far from the beach in Mexico's once-glamorous resort of Acapulco.
Prosecutors in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero said the two men had been visiting a barbershop in the Puerto Marquez neighborhood.
A witness said the victims had arrived in Acapulco the day before for the Easter week vacation. She said the victims were on two all-terrain vehicles when assailants rode up on a motorcycle and opened fire on them. The victims’ bodies were found still aboard the ATVs.
There was no information on the condition of the woman, who was taken to a hospital before police arrived.
Acapulco has been plagued by drug cartel violence since 2006, but in the first months of 2023, the violence has become worse.
