Nicaraguan journalist Ángel Gahona was shot dead while he was sending live footage from a protest site in Bluefields, Nicaragua on April 21, 2018. Director of a local television program El Meridiano, Gahona was filming a live video to Facebook of the anti-government protests. He was reporting about a damaged ATM when he was shot. A cameraman who accompanied him filmed the whole sequence. In the cameraman’s video, a shot can be heard and Gahona collapses immediately, bleeding from the head. It was unclear at the site who had fired the shot. The police is accusing two young men of the murder. However, many people including Gahona’s brother are saying that the police has the wrong suspects.
