TULUM, Mexico—Hours earlier than she was gunned down, Anjali Ryot posted an idyllic video of herself sitting on a hammock by the Caribbean Sea in certainly one of Mexico’s hippest resort cities. “Vibing with the ocean,” she wrote in her Instagram account.
That night time, Ms. Ryot, a California-based journey blogger with some 50,000 Instagram followers, was celebrating her thirtieth birthday along with her husband at La Malquerida, a preferred restaurant, when two members of a neighborhood drug gang noticed a rival ducking inside. They began capturing. Three vacationers have been wounded. Ms. Ryot and a German vacationer have been killed.
