ALEJANDRO GÓMEZ MONTEVERDE´S FATHER AND BROTHER KILLED

The two victims, father and brother of the film producer Alejandro Gómez Monteverde who is married to Ali Landry, the former Miss USA, were kidnapped over two weeks ago from their home in Tamaulipas, Mexico, and held for ransom. Despite the ransom being paid, they were both killed. Their bodies were found in Veracruz, Mexico on Sept. 19, both with severe head wounds, according to reports.

The family had made a ransom payment, but when pressed for another payment the family demanded proof that the two men were still alive before paying.

Juan Manuel was a business partner at the La Pecerita restaurant that had allegedly been connected with drug cartel activity.
