Mexico&#8217;s southern Pacific coast, is one of six out of 32 states that account for almost half of Mexico&#8217;s homicides, much of them linked to drug trafficking. Guerrero is among the regions in Mexico that the U.S. State Department\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/mexico-travel-advisory.html#Michoacan%20state\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">advises<\/a>\u00a0Americans to completely avoid, citing crime and violence. Disputes between cartels led to 1,890 murders in the state in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In November, police\u00a0 said they found 11 bodies, including two of minors, dumped by a highway in in Guerrero.
