However, El Sincler noticed the arrival of the hired assassins in a white Suburban-type truck and drew a gun to face them, with which he fired and killed one of them. The alleged assailants fled to Avenida Kabah and, at the crest of Region 229, more shots were reported for the alleged persecution.

As background, El Sincler was captured in the city of Merida in September 2015, by agents of the State Judicial Police, who brought him to Cancun in compliance with an arrest warrant and two years later regained his freedom.

Another version.

Raúl MA, alias "El Sincler", who was a staunch enemy of "Doña Lety" and who is rumored to control the sale of drugs in the Hotel Zone, was the target of a long-arms attack this afternoon in Region 92 of this city, located behind the taxi drivers union, which left a person dead.

Apparently, eight people with long weapons, all disguised as agents of the Federal Police; However, the bodyguard of "El Sincler" repelled the attack, so these hit men escaped, except for one, who was shot to death,  with a high-powered weapon in his hands. The target of the attack was wounded, but they could not kill him.

The weapon, apparently of Russian manufacture, is similar to the copkiller used by the attack on the Prosecutor's Office almost two years ago. The deceased carried a Federal Police badge that upon review in the databases turned out to be false.

Police impersonator "El Sincler", 42 years old, was injured, with a bullet wound in his thigh. He was rushed to the General Hospital, where immediately they had to double security, for fear that some armed group would come to finish killing him or rescue him.

Police forces arrived from the three levels of government, Army and Navy, as well as the Prosecutor's Office.

El Sincler was an ally of Doña Lety, the self-proclaimed "Owner of Cancún", who in the government of Roberto Borge controlled the traffic of narcotics from Bonfil.

Eventually they had a falling out and he had to flee the state, taking refuge in Mérida, where he was arrested in 2015. "Doña Lety" would also fall, a year and a half later.

Despite being accused of homicide and allegedly having control over taxi drivers who distribute narcotics in the Hotel Zone, Raúl M. was released in 2017 on the orders of a judge in Cancun.
