Cancun, Q.R. — A man identified as José de Jesús “N”, alias “El Chupón”, was shot to death in Cancun Friday. The 50 year old man had a history with local law enforcement as an alleged drug dealer.
The shooting happened in SM 94 off Francisco I. Madero Avenue while he was in his car. He had pulled over to let passengers out of his vehicle when he was intercepted.
Two men on a motorcycle blocked his path from driving away, shooting him through his open driver’s side window.
Medical personnel confirmed the driver was dead behind the wheel. He has been identified as a suspected member of the Sinaloa Cartel who was involved in retail drug sales around Cancun.
José de Jesús “N” was arrested in September of last year on drug offences during a Cancun roadway operation. That arrest led to a property search in SM 91 which allegedly functioned as a storage and distribution point for narcotics.
According to available information, the Friday shooting was over a dispute regarding area drug sales points.
