Dominican Republic Environment Minister shot dead in office

When Dominican Environment Minister Orlando Jorge Mera held a meeting on Monday (local time), a childhood friend entered his office and shot the 55-year-old several times. The background of the fact is so far unclear.

Orlando Jorge Mera poses for photographs May 18, less than two weeks before his assassination on June 6 (local time) in Santo Domingo.
