An American entrepreneur who introduced foreign men to “young, sexy, exotic and beautiful Latin Women” via the Internet was killed in the western city of Cali by gunmen on a motorcycle, police said.
Robert Marshall Vignola, 50, of Hamden, Conn., founded the Cali-based company in 1999, according to the website. The site says the company “has assisted hundreds of clients in the search for the Latin Woman of their dreams.”
Vignola was killed by two men on a motorcycle while driving to Cali’s airport, police said. His Colombian wife, Beatriz Ramos, 33, was hospitalized with shoulder wounds.
Police said they had not found a motive for the attack but had ruled out robbery.
