Teenager killed as Venezuelans march against the Government

A teenager has been shot dead as tens of thousands of opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro flooded the streets of Caracas in what has been dubbed the "mother of all marches" against the embattled socialist.

Carlos Romero, just three days away from celebrating his 18th birthday, was walking home from a football game when he bumped into pro-government militias stalking a small pocket of protesters, family friend Melvin Sojo said at the hospital where doctors tried in vain to save the boy's life.
