An American tourist was enjoying herself in the famed city of Puerto Morelos when he was shot in the leg by a number of assailants.

The shooting appears to be completely random, but it reflects a shifting cartel attitude of random attacks, which they feels bolsters their reputation and creates fear among rivals.

A handful of people got out of their car and randomly approached the tourist. Investigators are still working on identifying the suspect, but with a government mired in corruption, don’t expect any fruitful results.

This comes after a kidnapping in the border city of Matamoras, where four Americans where caught in a shootout. Two died in it while two were kidnapped, but amazingly, were found alive and safe.
