An American missionary was shot and killed in Cameroon, West Africa, in an attack his family believes was “targeted,” amid armed conflict between separatists and soldiers in the country.

Charles Truman Wesco was shot on Oct. 30 while in a car. Two bullets went through the windshield and struck his head. He was rushed to a local hospital but was declared dead soon after arriving.
