SPRING BREAK
With Spring Break coming and the number of young people that go to Mexico each year, I will be doing my best to put out more reports in order to document the violence there, along with graphic photos. Meanwhile, Mexico will try to convince everyone that it is safe so as to pull in the tourist dollars. Readers, PLEASE help me get the word out by sharing the M3 Reports widely.-af

**Asterisk denotes death involving a police officer or a member of the military serving in that capacity. Some items may be from notirex.com, lapoliciaca.com or historiasdelnarco.com. Some incidents of violence may not be included here due to the large number of death reports.

A group of armed men in 3 vans pursued the Mayor and his bodyguards that were traveling in 2 vehicles. State, local and federal police responded to the Mayor’s radio call, but were unable to locate the gunmen.
ACAPULCO, GUERRERO
The tourist port of Acapulco is the most violent city in Mexico said Jose Antonio Ortega, president of the Citizen Council for Public Safety and Criminal Justice. He detailed that the city of over 100,000 inhabitants has a homicide rate that is almost 8 times the national average. ” Unless we solve the problem of impunity, the problem in Acapulco will not be resolved…The increase we are attributing to the lack of punishment.”
