Medellin gangsters assassinate 3rd foreigner in 2 weeks
written by Adriaan Alsema June 17, 2016
A Danish citizen became the third foreigner to be shot dead in Medellin, Colombia’s second largest city, in the past two weeks.
According to local newspaper El Colombiano, the victim was killed at less than a block from Parque Lleras, the city’s primary hangout for foreign tourists.
The victim, the 41-year-old Tomas Willemoes, was seemingly waiting for someone when a man approached him, talked to the victim and opened fire only minutes after his initial approach.
The Dane was shot in the head and died instantly. The killer fled.
. . .
Part of the violence is due to apparent tensions between factions of local crime syndicate La Oficina de Envigado, which has controlled the city’s underworld since the 1980’s when it was founded by late drug lord Pablo Escobar.
