"Luis Manuel Diaz, local leader of the Democratic Action party in Altagracia de Orituco (Guarico state) has just been shot dead," the party's chairman Henry Ramos Allup said on Twitter.

Ramos Allup said Diaz was standing next to Lilian Tintori, wife of jailed opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, who is in prison for incitement to violence in 2014 antigovernment protests.

He added that the shooter, whom he believed to be a member of an "armed gang" linked to the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), carried out the attack from a vehicle.

In a statement, the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) expressed regret over the death and rejected "all forms of violence that could affect the normal development of the electoral process."

The Venezuelan government has its own gang-bangers to do what the cops, military, and secret police won’t do.

The Venezuela government are the gang bangers. Our two bit thugs will make runs at Trump. After all, Emperor Zero and future Emperor the Great will demand it.
