CARACAS, Venezuela — An American tourist was shot and killed and a friend wounded in an apparent robbery attempt aboard a sailboat on Venezuela’s Caribbean coast, police said Monday.
Kenneth Dale Peters, 55, was shot by armed men who boarded his sailboat to rob him and his passengers Saturday night, authorities said.
Peters apparently tried to defend himself with a gun and wounded one of the attackers, who got away, regional police chief Gustavo Palacios said.
Also wounded was Stephen Davis, 63, a friend of Peters. Police said he was recovering at a hospital. Details about the victim, including his hometown, weren’t immediately available.
