Germán Mavare

Germán Mavare (died May 6, 2016) was a local politician of the Venezuelan centre-left party A New Era, leading the urbanization (municipality) of Carucieña in Barquisimeto, Lara.[1]

On May 5, 2016, Mavare, a secretary for social engagement of his party, was reported to have been distributing political fliers late at night when he was approached by a motorcyclist, who asked Mavare his name before shooting him in the head.[2] He died in hospital in the early hours of the morning.[3] His party described the killing as an assassination.[4][5] Other media publications speculated that the primary motive for the attack was theft of Mavare's mobile phone.[6]
