In a video this morning, the Chief of Police confirmed that they found a lifeless body with gunshot wounds in colonia La Gloria, on Canane street, when they responded to a call for help at 11pm last night. The municipal police are working in coordination with the National Guard and the state Prosecutor's office, and are unable to release further details while the investigation is ongoing
Regarding the two men shot at FOVISSTE on Friday night, Chief of Police Jaime Ongay Ortiz issued a video statement on Saturday saying they taken to the General Hospital in Cancun. He said the incident was under investigation and allegedly associated with the purchase of drugs, according to an interview with one of the victims.
In Chief Ongay Ortiz's video statement about Tuesday's shooting victims, he said they were a man and a woman, a couple, whose injuries were not life-threatening. He said the incident was allegedly associated with an altercation during the purchase of clandestine alcohol at 1:50am, near FOVISSTE and Pompano street.
Yesterday the Chief of Police released a statement asking the public to
refrain from making false 911 calls, which he said have increased, and
he recommended seeking information from official sources, only. He said,
"We ask the populace to ignore rumors spreading on social media;
so-called trolls have grown exponentially on Facebook, who are only
trying to create an environment of uncertainty."
The measures that will be imposed by the municipal government of Solidaridad include healthy distancing, not bringing alcoholic beverages, and groups no larger than three people.
The beaches
throughout our Northern Zone of Q Roo will open at 60% when our status
is upgraded to Yellow on the state epidemiological Traffic Light, which
is updated Thursdays at 9p, for the following Monday-Sunday.

The Mayor's response to last night's fatal shooting--"Faced with the events that occurred yesterday, we have been in direct communication with the state government to address the criminal case where very unfortunately one person lost his life. We are working in coordination between the municipality, the state and the National Guard, strengthening security measures and supporting the prosecution for clarification of the facts."
An adolescent Hawksbill turtle was rescued from the dock near Mia Hotel by Tortugranja personnel in response to a report. It was taken to their facilities and examined for external injuries, then taken to the veterinary clinic for x-rays. It was found to be malnourished. With assistance from the Caribbean Tortuguero group, it was taken to Xcaret, where they have specialized equipment for its care.

Turtles continue nesting in August. They can be observed mating offshore from Punta Sur
during this
month, and they nest along the eastern beaches. Tortugranja staff and
volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in the sand in a pen
outside the facility. Three species nest annually in Isla Mujeres, Greens, Loggerheads,
and Hawksbills, and very rarely, a Leatherback will attempt to nest,
but generally the sand isn't sufficiently deep.Swimming with the whale sharks takes place in August, which ends annually in mid-September. They congregate and feed on a 'buffet' of plankton and fish eggs from a type of tuna. Rays are also attracted to the feeding areas. Photo by Tony Garcia
>>Meteors!! The Perseids are currently active & one of the most popular showers. They will peak in the early mornings of the weekend of August 11,12 & 13, but the moon will be at or slightly past its last quarter phase and interfering. However, the Perseids are bright & you may see 3 or 4 dozen when they are peaking, if you're patient. They continue thru the 24th. The Alpha Capricornids are going on now (thru Aug. 15) with only a few meteors per hour, but they are known for producing bright fireballs when active. (They peaked Tuesday & moonlight will interfere with visibility.)
