CANCÚN, MX — A 23-year-old man lost his life this Wednesday at the General Hospital "Jesús Kumate" after being involved in a violent altercation between neighbors that occurred in the Tres Reyes neighborhood of this city.

The victim was identified as Andrés H.E., who was admitted to the hospital in critical condition after receiving a severe beating administered by three men and a woman, with whom he had constant conflicts, according to testimonies gathered in the area.

The incident was recorded on Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of 6 de Enero and Víctor Ayala streets.

Neighbors indicated that one of the aggressors immobilized the young man with a rope while the others attacked him with stones and sticks.
