Gunmen Kidnap U.S. Citizen, Shoot Alleged DEA Agent's Wife in Separate Attacks near Cancun
2024-02-12
[Breitbart] Authorities in Mexico are investigating the shooting of the wife of a retired DEA agent and the recent kidnapping of a U.S. citizen near Mexico’s Caribbean hotspot of Cancun. Mexican authorities reportedly tried to cover up one of the cases as a way to diminish the growing perception that violence has taken over the country.

The shooting of the woman took place on Friday night in the tourist area of Tulum, approximately 70 miles south of Cancun, in the state of Quintana Roo. According to the local news outlet NotiCaribe, the attack took place at a beach along the Tulum-Boca Paila highway. Local authorities tried to cover up the attack where one woman, who they claim is the wife of a retired DEA agent living in Cancun, was shot, the outlet reported. A second victim described only as a male sustained gunshot wounds, however, additional details have not been released. U.S. officials have not provided any information to confirm or deny the incident.

#3  Thought experiment: ...the hypothetical hallmarks of a compromised former DEA agent who was knowingly used by one cartel to damage a competitor cartel. Exposed after retirement, he is now at risk of prosecution back in the US for his collusion, and lives under the protection of the Sinaloa cartel but is at risk by former Zeta's of Grupo Regional who suffered damage from his actions? Just a wild guess...

#2  ...who they claim is the wife of a retired DEA agent living in Cancun

Unless he was on the pay of the cartel why would he retire to Mexico, unless this is a inter-cartel thing going down.
