Authorities in the U.S. territory of Guam have pledged to apprehend those responsible for the fatal shooting of a South Korean visitor in a tourist district.
The incident occurred shortly before 8 p.m. on Thursday as the traveler and his wife were walking towards Tsubaki Towers, a hotel on Guam’s popular Tumon Bay, from nearby Gun Beach, according to KUAM-TV, citing police sources.
Guam Police Chief Stephen Ignacio revealed at a news conference that an older model, dark-colored SUV approached them from behind.
A passenger, armed with a gun, disembarked from the vehicle and demanded their belongings, leading to a struggle, the Associated Press reported.
The victim was transported to Guam Regional Medical City and succumbed to his injuries the following morning. The deceased individual was in Guam to celebrate his retirement.
In response to the tragic incident, the Guam Visitors Bureau has announced a $50,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the shooting.
