KINGSTON, Jamaica — An Iowa Southern Baptist was among two American missionaries killed in Jamaica on April 30 in what appeared to be a violent attack.
Randy Hentzel, 48, a member of First Family Church, Ankeny, Iowa, was serving with the Pennsylvania-based Teams for Medical Missions when he was slain in a remote, rural area of Jamaica along with fellow missionary Harold Nichols, 53. The two men went for a motorcycle ride at approximately 8 a.m., and Hentzel’s body was found hours later beside a motorcycle in some bushes. Nichols’ body was found the next day in a separate area.
The Jamaican Constabulary Force said in a May 2 release it is “doing everything possible to identify the criminals.”
