A Canadian was gunned down in Mexico early Saturday morning.

Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico

According to the Mexican newspaper El Universal, B.C. resident Thomas Gisby was shot and killed in a Starbucks in Nuevo Vallarta north of of Puerto Vallarta. According to the newspaper, witnesses said two men fired at close range before fleeing. A suspect was later arrested nearby.

Gisby was a well-known drug trafficker and the killing will result in unknown repercussions, police sources have told CBC News. Sources also say Gisby had been targeted in an explosion in Whistler, B.C., in January.

Two men had been camping in an RV in a public parking lot in Whistler when someone detonated explosives in an apparent attempt to kill them.

Each of the victims suffered minor injuries in the blast. Police said at the time both victims were known to them and the explosion was believed to be gang-related.

Mounties are expected to release more information at a news conference scheduled for Saturday evening.
