While Canadian authorities have yet to confirm the identities of the three Canadians shot at a resort near Playa de Carmen, Mexico, reports from Mexican media indicate that at least one Canadian killed was allegedly linked to an international criminal organization.

Dense jungle outside a Mexican luxury resort provided cover for an alleged gunman to escape Friday, according to Mexican police, after he shot three Canadians, including two men who have died.The shooting took place at Hotel Xcaret, south of Playa de Carmen in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. All three were immediately transferred to hospital, where the two men died.

Global Affairs said in a statement Friday that they were aware of three Canadians being involved in the shooting, and confirmed the death of two people. Mexican reports indicate that at least one of the murdered Canadians is allegedly linked to an international criminal organization led in Canada by Cong Dinh, a man who the RCMP has been looking for since 2013, even issuing a $50,000 reward in 2019 for information that could lead to an arrest. Dinh is wanted for allegations of laundering millions in illicit drug money.
