The deceased officer had been working as a presidential escort for six years.

His murder comes less than a week after the discovery of Eliezer Otaiza’s body with gunshot wounds. He was president of Caracas’s Municipal Council and a known leader of the governing United Socialist Party (PSUV).

The Public Ministry has already assigned a prosecutor responsible for the killing’s thorough investigation.
