Playa del Carmen, Q. Roo.- An armed attack in a nightclub in the Ejidal neighborhood left one person dead, in addition to 11 wounded, tonight.

The shootout arose in the place called Cervecería Chapultepec, located on Constituyentes Avenue, between Avenidas 90 and 95. According to the Attorney General's Office, two armed people fired from outside the premises with small arms.

The injured, men and women, were lying on the front bench and inside the place, several of them moaning in pain.

According to the General Directorate of Public Safety and Traffic, the attack would be motivated by the well-known "Piso-Right” [tax or “protection” payments].

"This corporation condemns these acts and is committed to work hand in hand with the ministerial authorities in the investigations to find the authors," says the municipal agency.
