The woman who calls herself John’s partner, Lily, reported on social networks that she saw armed men rush right into the house of John and his friend Jason Henze and started shooting at them. Last managed to save. He entered the hospital with gunshot wounds to the armpit, leg and arm.

Mexican police found drug-processing equipment, glass tubes, and marijuana plants in the house.

Lily and Henza immediately after the shooting posted a video on a page on Facebook. Lily begged: “I really need help! Somebody please come. ” In his post, bearded Henza, in a bloody T-shirt, said: “We were attacked. I was injured three times. ”

Before the shooting, John and Lily hosted weekly Meat Ups at a local restaurant. They were also recruiting speakers for an anarchist conference to be held in Acapulco at the end of February. A couple of young men with dreadlocks, both in their early 20s, posted a video on Facebook urging people to attend the conference.

“We want freedom of ideas,” John said from the home the couple rented for $400 a month above Acapulco Bay.

A spokesman for the US State Department said the Bureau of Consular Affairs is aware of the investigation into the death of a US citizen in Acapulco, but he cannot provide additional information for reasons of confidentiality.

Edition Associated Press writes that John Galton is probably not the real name of an American, but a pseudonym borrowed from John Galt, a fictional character in Ain Rand’s Atlanta Shrugged individualistic work. John Galt is idolized by some anarchist groups who are outraged by the excessive influence of the state.

In a separate video posted on the YouTube channel called Press For Truth, John and Lily talked about how they fled from the US at the start of 2016. John said that each of them faces up to 25 years in prison for making substances that Lily, he said, used to treat chronic pain.

No records of the US federal court on drug charges contained the name of John Galton.

A year later, in a second video published by Press For Truth, the couple told how they earned selling glass tubes with drugs. When asked about the high crime rate in Acapulco, the blue-eyed anarchist with dirty hair said, “I would say that it is safer than in any big city I lived in the USA, for example, much safer than Chicago or something like that. ”

Acapulco's homicide rate is 64,2 per 100 residents, more than twice Chicago's. Acapulco has become the scene of violence in the struggle of Mexican drug cartels.

Earlier, the US State Department issued a warning to American tourists asking for extra caution when visiting Mexico.
