OP
Best I can roughly figure San Miguel itself has about 77,236 residents and averaging 3 murders a year gives them a rate of .039 murders per year per 1,000 residents. Using 2009 FBI numbers, that would say they have a bit more murder than Anaheim, California (at .03) , but less than Virginia Beach, VA (at .04).
So if you are considering vacations, you would be slightly safer in downtown San Miguel than in all-American family beach resort town of Virginia Beach. (Esp if you involved in being a narcotraficante. If not, you might be even safer in Coz) Thats half the murder rate of Vegas and only a third of the rate in Pittsburgh. (Go Steelers...)

COZUMEL, July 11 .- With total secrecy are conducting the investigation about the murder of Jose Alfredo Gutierrez Muciño alias "El Mara 18", made the early hours of Sunday-, since not want to impede the progress the case. Although unofficial accounts say it was a settling of accounts, ministry officials chose to omit data on what happened, however, confirmed the arrival of a panel of judicial officers to investigate the killing.
As you recall, early on Sunday July 10, Jose Alfredo Gutierrez Muciño, alias "El Mara 18", was wounded by two shots with a firearm carried 9 mm on the Avenida Rafael E. Melgar, between 11 and 13 avenue, a few meters from City Hall and the Department of Public Safety. The above died hours later at the General Hospital because of impacts received one he entered the height of the ear and broke his jaw and another entered his forearm, puncturing both lungs, so that staff of the Office General for Justice in the State (PGJE), through the State Judicial Police (PJE), brought the case and started investigations.
According to the preliminary 1017, which began with the crime of acts constituting injury and before the Public Ministry of Common Law (MPFC) in Cozumel, which changed the crime of murder to death last Sunday Muciño Gutierrez, CEO of Preliminary Investigations in the north, Leopoldo Navarro Cruz, reported that doing research on the case of "Mara 18", but failed to elaborate on relevant information by the same confidentiality of investigations.
After waiting over an hour the officer to gather more data from the bloody murder, only went out to meet the press and simply could not report that data, "since it could hamper investigations," although he hinted that the event it was a bloody settling of accounts.

Note that sources inside the PGJE said they are already working through the frames of the video surveillance of public security, in order to have progress, the time when it was learned that inside the white Tsuru license plates 839-PBJ Federal District, he found an envelope with a white substance, allegedly cocaine.
It also emerged that contrary to what was said at the beginning of what happened with respect to the deceased was in a nightclub, according to unofficial versions Muciño Gutierrez said they arrived at the scene, because they asked a dose of drug-possibly found inside the vehicle, but had no time to lose the drive, since you already waited two guys on a motorcycle, which so far the authorities have not released their characteristics who shot him with a firearm caliber nine millimeters.
So far no one has come close to the MPFC to claim the body of mucin Gutierrez, but will wait the required time, if anyone present could be deposited in the grave.
Unaccustomed to executions
COZUMEL, July 11 .- Leaders of business organizations lament the gun attack carried out early on Sunday in the first frame of the city against a person allegedly linked to illegal activities that hours later he died. Agree that the island community is not accustomed to such events, or want to, that is why demand more security in the area of the seriousness of the facts and the beginning of the summer, to the relief of local residents and visitors.
As you may recall, last Sunday morning, a man allegedly linked to drug dealing was shot twice in the central Avenida Rafael E. 11 Melgar, so that later lost his life in a nursing two bullet wounds, which eventually resulted in the tenth run in Cozumel, in a period of approximately three years. The first was on July 14, 2008, the murder of Juan Fernando Flores Melendez, aka "The Wacash."
According to Jose Becerra, president of the National Chamber of the Restaurant Industry and spicy foods (CANIRAC), "even with these facts, Cozumel remains the safest municipality whose population is not used to seeing these bloody events or you get used to, and the consequence is that it has relevance to media statewide and even national, which in its consideration to the detriment of entrepreneurs who are working to promote the destination. "
Proposes strengthening security in tourist areas "because this happened in a tourist area, it was not in the 100 Avenue, it was not in the colony Chentuk, went on the boardwalk, in the window of Cozumel and in front of city hall."
He said the area where the incident occurred "has two popular restaurants, two nightclubs, are opening shops and if we have shot ahead, imagine. Just talk to employers of one of these restaurants to try to extend their working hours at night, and how can I convince them that open at night? if the shooting outside his door. "
He noted the government's efforts to provide security and patrols are needed, because even have been fighting "bandit" in the area.
For Juan Carlos Villanueva Lopez, a businessman and president of the National Chamber of Commerce, Services and Tourism (Kanak-SERVYTUR), it is unfortunate this bloody deed in which a person lost to life, noting that "it has to work to identify where this situation arises because it is desirable that these events begin to set a precedent against the island. "
He continued that "the authorities must do their part in the research field, in order to have an official response about it." He added, "Cozumel has always lived in safety and must continue that way because in Cozumel are not used to this nor want to be."
So if you are considering vacations, you would be slightly safer in downtown San Miguel than in all-American family beach resort town of Virginia Beach. (Esp if you involved in being a narcotraficante. If not, you might be even safer in Coz) Thats half the murder rate of Vegas and only a third of the rate in Pittsburgh. (Go Steelers...)
