Mexican authorities have identified a woman who was killed by a stray bullet at a popular Mexican beach resort Feb. 9 as Niko Honarbakhsh, 44, originally from California.

The incident appears to be a dispute between drug dealers at a popular beach club in the Mexican resort city of Tulum, on the eastern part of the Yucatan peninsula, according to authorities. The coastline tourist zone is lined with upscale clubs and eateries.
