Canadian man with criminal record killed at a gym in Mexican resort of Cancun

A Canadian man with a criminal record from his home country was fatally shot at a mall in Cancun, Mexico, according to authorities in Quintana Roo. The man, not named by prosecutors, had been convicted in Canada for gang-related offenses, including illicit fund possession. Global Affairs Canada confirmed the death but provided limited information due to privacy concerns. This incident follows a pattern, as in January 2022, two Canadians, one wanted by Interpol, were killed in Playa del Carmen, possibly due to debts involving international drug and weapons trafficking gangs.
