Cancun, Q.R. — A fourth person has died following an armed attack inside a private Cancun home early Saturday afternoon. A group of people inside the house were the victims of an attack that involved guns and machetes.
Police were sent to a home in the Valle Verde neighborhood of Cancun Saturday where they found three dead and two injured people. The home belonged to a woman and her husband.
