Ex chief justice of Guatemala’s Supreme Court killed
GUATEMALA CITY — Officials in Guatemala say unidentified gunmen have killed a former president of the Supreme Court.
Municipal firefighters in the capital say that 75-year-old Jose Arturo Sierra was shot seven times as he drove in Guatemala City. The Roosevelt Hospital said Friday that Sierra died upon arrival.
The Supreme Court said in a statement that it rejected another act of violence in the country.
Sierra served on the court from 2009 to 2014, as well as on the country’s constitutional Court.
