An alleged gang member of a criminal drug ring was killed at a resort in Cancún frequented by American tourists following an altercation during an undercover operation at the hotel.

Mexican authorities arrested them upon arrival and charged them with fraud for disputing credit card charges stemming from a timeshare they purchased in 2021 at a different resort in Cancun.

A Mexican resort at the center of an international saga after an American couple were arrested and accused of fraud has hit back at suggestions they're being imprisoned without cause.
