April 21 (UPI) -- Carlos Ocariz, the mayor of Venezuela's Sucre municipality in Caracas, on Friday said a man died during an anti-government protest -- the ninth related death in two weeks.
Ocariz said Melvin Guitan was shot during a protest that Venezuela's Bolivarian National Guard was breaking up on Thursday in the Petare suburb, which is regarded as one of the largest slums in the world. Ocariz did not say who shot Guitan.
