Quintana Roo registers 85% drop in intentional homicides: SESNSP; goes from two daily cases in 2024 to 0.3 in 2026

The head of Mexico's National Security System (SESNSP), Marcela Figueroa Franco, reported a 85% reduction in daily homicide rates in Quintana Roo since President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo took office. The average number of homicides per day dropped from two cases daily in September 2024 to 0.3 by June 2026. June 2026 marked the lowest daily homicide rate in the region in 12 years, with a 57% decrease compared to June 2025. The first half of 2026 saw a 60% drop in homicides compared to the same period in 2025, making it the lowest since 2017. Tulum, a municipality within Quintana Roo, recorded zero homicides in May and June 2026, continuing into July. The strategy also led to a 15% decline in high-impact crimes like violent theft, extortion, and kidnapping, which peaked at 19.6 daily incidents in 2019.
