ACAPULCO, Mexico — Authorities in Acapulco have found the bodies of two men and a woman in a stolen taxi, the latest victims in a wave of violence gripping the Mexican resort city.

The public security agency of Guerrero state says the bodies were found in the trunk of a sedan that was left on a major avenue late Tuesday. Gunmen had stolen the taxi from its driver a short time earlier.

Officials say one of the male victims was decapitated.

At least 11 people have been found slain in the popular tourist resort on Tuesday and Wednesday. Signs with messages directed at a local military commander were found with some of the bodies.

Acapulco currently is hosting the Mexican Open tennis tournament.
