Condolences to the family, RIP.
I hope it has nothing to do with the other man...

It doesn't. Look around a little, you'll find the answer.

These types of murders are most likely drug related.
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Yeah, a 70-something retired Gringo who speaks little Spanish. Right. Good thinking.

You'll have to work for it. It's for your own good. If you want to live in Mexico you'll need to start reading the Mexican newspapers for information.
Integrate yourself into Mexican society. Take an interest in your adopted country. That's what Americans expect of immigrants in the US.

bajaguy...read the comments posted below the article. 1st comment said otra gringo...no name however.
as far as being drug related..you can bet your burro it is. The murderer was more than likely a drug addict...robbing the elderly to pay for his
habit.

It's too bad there is no standing applause icon for that post.
My spoken Spanish truly sucks, but I studied Latin in school and I can make my way through written Spanish. That plus google-translate gives me only
about 70% content accuracy, but it's a start to reading and understanding what is going on in the press.

You can be the innocent victim and the crime drug related. They always pick on the weak and vulnerable first. The victim being a "gringo" senior
citizen just means they think they have a better chance of getting away with it.

This has to be the undeniable wake-up call for the expat down here. It seems that murder has become a form of communication.
Those of us, young or old, just can't be isolated any more. It's suicidal.

If you were in the robbery business whom would you choose?
A Mexican who might have a gun and might recognize you...
Or a Gringo who doesn't, thinks you all look and sound alike...and has money?

the comments below the article say that the druggies are targeting Americans who are elderly.
time to rethink where you are living folks, not that anywhere in the world is safe, but heading to a smaller village does have its advantages.
stay away from la bocana - we are on the pacific and it is waaaaaaaay toooooooo windy here !!

How could being more isolated be safer? I think a recent nomad experience shows the exact opposite would be true.

C,mon what's with the wimpy group panic? Somebody needs to slap and backhand a few of you around in order that you get control of yourselves!
So how many dead gringos that this make for the year in Baja?
It's just an aberration that two old gringos with killed within two weeks of each other.
I'm sorry to say but I don't think it's open season of old gringos in Baja yet.( I will keep my thoughts to myself here)
I don't have the exact numbers, but I would bet money that gringos aren't being killed in Mexico any higher than they are being killed in the states.
The fact is the vast majority of killings in Mexico is still drug related and engaging in illegal actives.
I do read the Baja papers, and I even read the Baja "Alarmists" blogs, and so I see all these types of stories when any American is killed in Baja,
and there isn't that many of these types of stories.
