I always thought murders at tourist destinations were pretty rare, cartels and other professional criminals don't want to attract attention because their own federal government will feel compelled to investigate and act as a matter of international diplomacy.
These dudes upset a local crim
I suspect what's happened is they've driven into cartel territory and the cartel has had a knee jerk reaction and removed what they perceived as a threat before asking any questions.
That sounds likely. The guys travelled outside the safe tourist areas.
