BOGOTA, Colombia – An American tourist has been shot to death in Colombia during an apparent robbery attempt after leaving his hotel in a wealthy enclave of Medellin.
Police say a 65-year-old New Yorker identified as John Mariani was assaulted Friday night when the taxi he was traveling was intercepted by gunmen in a chase vehicle and motorcycle.
Police are offering a $16,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrators.
