Venezuela: Beauty queen shot dead in protests
Tensions have risen in Venezuela since Mr López, a 42-year-old Harvard-educated economist, turned himself in to troops on Tuesday after spearheading three weeks of often violent protests against president Nicolás Maduro’s government.
The latest victims of the unrest included college student and model Genesis Carmona, 22, who was shot in the head at a protest on Tuesday in the central city of Valencia. She died later in a clinic.
