“As the driver posed a risk to traffic and the safety and lives of pedestrians in the area, he was caught in a parking lot on Avenida 20 de Noviembre, heading toward Arco Norte, in the Villas Otoch Paraíso subdivision, superblock 259 in Cancun.
“At that moment, the driver ran off, disappearing from view among the buildings. The gray Mazda vehicle with Quintana Roo license plates was inspected. The vehicle had scratches on the lower part of the front bumper which was detached.
“A voter ID card was found inside, so the name of the person appearing on the ID was verified with C5. The person had a valid court order for aggravated homicide.”
