I hate to kick a dead horse, but living nearby, here's the scoop on the "San Diego resident who was killed in Ixtapa."
That's how it was reported in the states, but if you followed it in the LA Times, you found out that he worked in Oceanside, California and lived in Tijuana, so he knew what he was doing.
He was shot running out of a bar in Ixtapa. He had been in the bar earlier, hired a female companion, and when in his room, she tried to rob him. He went back to the bar where he hired her, talked to her "boss" and demanded things. He ran out of the bar and was shot and killed. It's still a dead US citizen, tourist? Maybe, but doing incredibly stupid stuff. Yes, the shooter was jailed, I don't feel like looking up the rest of the details.
