Authorities in Acapulco are investigating the shooting death of a Belgian businessman in a shopping center parking lot.
AP reports that the Guerrero state district attorney’s office identified the victim as 59-year-old Jan Sarens, a businessman with the Belgian-owned firm Sarens. Sarens has offices in Mexico and 49 other nations.
The killing is the second incidence of violence against foreigners in the region in less than three weeks. Earlier in February, masked gunmen raped six Spanish women during a robbery at a beachfront residence.
