It is never good to hear someone got shot and killed but I would not say Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo are not safe for tourists. As it has been said before countless times, it is safer there than where most of us are from.

I agree but that just not helps the tourist industry when this issue gets traction and people seek alternatives

Frankly not sure why this story should get traction from tourists and good luck finding alternative if you mean somewhere where there is never any shooting and violence in this world. Considering the amount of such events against tourists in the area over the last 20-30 years, it is as safe as it gets.

Collectively, we as natives, residents, visitors and lovers of Zihuatanejo should be ashamed of ourselves for blithely accepting that people are being murdered in our midst but somehow that is okay because more people are being killed in other places.

The murder of one person cheapens the intrinsic value of each and every other person.

We should be outraged by these senseless killings. We should be marching in the streets. We should be yelling at the top of our collective voices that the killings must stop.

I agree with you Tim, but at the same time I would venture a guest that there were several people in the bar that knew the shooter and he will never be brought to justice. I hope I am wrong because any body that is that senseless should be off the streets.
I feel very sorry for the family and all the people that knew and loved him, including my son who worked with him in the past

I know the person who runs Mangos. He is the same person that ran Carlos and Charlies before it closed. I saw, and talked to them all on the beach in August. My heart is sad for their loss.
