Any advise from any member that has been to Mexico recently, Monterrey specifically?

The issue isn't being "targeted," it's being in the wrong place at the wrong time - something that's next impossible for someone infamiliar with the area to predict.
I haen't been to Monterrey, recently. The best advice I can offer you is to remain in communication with the people you'll be working with, ask their advice and then follow it. Monterrey is part of the war/terrorism zone in Northern Mexico. I doubt your employer will be placing you at risk.
