The Quintana Roo Prosecutor’s Office offered a reward for “Secre”
On April 3, the Attorney General’s Office of Quintana Roo announced that a reward of 1 million pesos was being offered for the whereabouts of Hector Elias Flores Aceves, who was wanted for being involved in the murders that took place at kilometer 16.5 of Kukulcán Boulevard in Cancún.
At that time, four lifeless bodies were found with bullet impacts, so security protocols were activated in the area, where elements of the three orders of the government arrived to capture the assailants. According to local media, the events occurred in front of national and international tourists, and subsequently, an investigation was opened into the discovery of the four murdered people.
Later that day, the Secretary of Citizen Security of Quintana Roo gave more details and confirmed the discovery of four people, not three as first reported. They also reported on the deployment of an operation to locate the alleged perpetrators: “There are two suspects involved in the incident who have been secured, as well as private security personnel, which the State Attorney General’s Office is questioning to determine who is responsible. The deceased are related to drug dealing activities, ruling out the possibility that they are workers of a lodging center or tourists”.
