On September 3, Abelsasar “N”, another suspect in the murder of the three taxi drivers, was arrested in Centla, Tabasco. He was stopped and inspected by police for trying to evade a checkpoint aboard a white Nissan Sentra vehicle without license plates.
He was initially arrested for drug possession, however, after running his identification through Plataforma México, police learned he was wanted for in the state of Quintana Roo for murder. He was transferred back to Quintana Roo to face charges. Police have identified drug dealing in the tourists areas of Riviera Maya as a motive for the murders.
