Mexico's resort-centric state of Quintana Roo, which includes Cancun, Tulum and Playa del Carmen, has been plagued by crime and kidnappings in recent years.
Authorities in the Mexican resort town of Cancún have confirmed that no shots were fired inside the city s airport after people were seeing fleeing one of the terminals.
Sanitation workers in the Mexican resort city of Playa del Carmen discovered the bodies of four men while cleaning a street near a residential housing complex on Thursday.
Local reports say a man thought to be Chris Cleave was named in a so-called narcomanta, a message left by a local drug cartel on a cloth banner, in an upmarket area of Playa del Carmen called Playacar.
