American Airlines flight attendant's alleged killers tied to gang accused of preying on tourists: officials

Two men accused of drugging and killing an American Airlines flight attendant during a layover in Colombia have been arrested months after the slaying, authorities announced. Andrés Felipe Peña Corrales, 23, and William Olave Gamboa, 31, were captured in Peru and linked to the March murder of Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina, a Dallas-based flight attendant. Peña Corrales has been transferred to Colombia to face charges, while Gamboa remains in Peruvian custody. A third suspect, María del Carmen González, 24, was arrested separately in Colombia and is alleged to have helped move stolen funds. All three are suspected members of Los Goteros, a gang known for targeting tourists via dating apps, drugging them, and stealing valuables. Investigators believe Gutierrez Molina was contacted online before being drugged at a hotel, leading to his death. Scopolamine may have been used, though this has not been confirmed. The case highlights ongoing concerns about crime risks for travelers.

Bias read (Center): While the article discusses a crime involving international cooperation, it presents information from multiple jurisdictions (U.S., Colombia, Peru) without overtly favoring any political agenda. The focus is on law enforcement actions and the nature of the criminal activity rather than ideological立场
