I would unfortunately have to agree that organized crime (typically drug cartel-related) has been a problem in many parts of Mexico, including Acapulco. (I have even read newspaper articles on how the crimes have moved into Texas, following the dealers and the $$$$.) Many dealers and law enforcers have suffered in Mexico.

Based upon your observation re: Acapulco, how often have murders and kidnappings, crimes refereced by the OP, targeted tourists in Acapulco over the last few years?
