The suspects were identified as Cristian Muriel “N,” alias “El Cris,” 35, from Colombia; Abel “N,” 53, from Tabasco; and María Araceli “N,” 24, from Bacalar.
The operation was led by the Tulum Public Security and Citizen Protection Department in coordination with the State Prosecutor’s Office and the Mexican Army, as part of the Security Roundtable efforts.
