Prosecutors said Tuesday that a Canadian man was in arrest after allegedly shooting and murdering a police officer who was responding to a call in the Mexican vacation town of Tulum.
According to the Quintana Roo state prosecutor’s office, police in Tulum had reacted to an allegation of a man firing at a car on Monday. When they arrived in Francisco Hu May, a guy opened fire on them, hitting one cop, who later died.
In accordance with Mexican law enforcement policy, the gunman, who only gave his first name as “Patrick C,” then entered his house, lit it on fire, and fled. Police shot the man in the leg, and he was taken to a hospital in Playa del Carmen.
The police officer’s passing was also confirmed by Quintana Roo’s state security organisation.
