A gunman riding on the back of a motorcycle has killed the leader of a small Venezuelan opposition party in the home state of the late President Hugo Chavez.

A colleague says Pablo Uzcategui was shot twice Monday night as he drove through the Barinas state capital with his son.

National Assembly lawmaker Carlos Berrizbeitia says the killing of Uzcategui was not a robbery. He says Uzcategui's wife was driving behind her husband with the couple's two daughters and witnessed the killing.

Uscategui led the Proyecto Venezuela party in Barinas. Berrizbeitia says he is not aware of Uzcategui receiving any death threats.

6. How awful, right in front of his family. Curious about the two cars, though?

Should be able to fit a wife and three kids in the same car, unless some other people were along for the ride, too. Guess they'll never find the guy on the motorcycle, either.

When it happens in Venezuela, Chavez did it as a hit on an opponent from the grave.
