“A taxi ferrying passengers was stopped by the protesters, who surrounded the vehicle. The driver panicked, pulled a gun and fired at the protesters, hitting one of them,” he said.
The driver drove off with the passengers still inside. The wounded protester was taken to hospital and died later.
Police were searching for the taxi driver.
