Mourners embrace during the wake for Genesis Carmona, who was shot during a protest against Nicolas Maduro's government on Tuesday, in Valencia
Mourners embrace during the wake for Genesis Carmona, 22, who was shot during a protest against Nicolas Maduro's government on Tuesday, in Valencia, some 100 miles (161 km) from Caracas February 20, 2014. Carmona, a local beauty queen and college student, died of a gunshot wound on Wednesday, the fifth fatality from Venezuela's political unrest, as imprisoned protest leader Leopoldo Lopez urged supporters to keep fighting for the departure of the socialist government. Tensions have risen in Venezuela since Lopez turned himself in to troops on Tuesday after spearheading three weeks of often rowdy protests against President Nicolas Maduro's government.
