Overview
- Jonatan Emanuel Minucci, 37, a hairdresser from Fray Luis Beltrán, died after being shot at the Vesica Cenote Club and was pronounced at a Playa del Carmen hospital.
- Witnesses and police reports say armed assailants, reportedly arriving on motorcycles, fired at least eight 9mm rounds inside the venue.
- Two men were wounded in the attack—Deyran de Jesús “N” (30) of Veracruz and Saúl “N” (34), a federal employee—who remain under medical observation.
- State prosecutors have not announced arrests as they investigate the case and assess a potential narcomenudeo connection; separate shootings in Tulum the same day included a fatal attack near the Festival Tehmplo.
- The Argentine consulate is assisting Minucci’s family with repatriation as relatives organize a public fundraiser to cover costs; he had moved to Mexico in November and was expecting his first child.
