On Wednesday noon, two people were murdered during a funeral procession escorted by a large group of bikers on the Francisco Fajardo highway, west Caracas. The casualties were a motorist and a biker who was taking part in the procession.

-----------
One of the motorists, Luis Enrique Moleiro Figueroa (62), started to honk his car horn in a sign of protest, asking the bikers to let him pass.

Riders started to harass and rob several drivers. Moleiro was with his two sons; one of them was a retired lieutenant of the Army, Luis Alfredo (42). In the heat of the argument, a biker shot and killed Moleiro instantly.

Then, Luis Alfredo, son of Moleiro, shot his weapon at the biker, who was identified as Freddy José Flores Vásquez (43). He died later in Pérez Carreño Hospital, near the place of the incident.

Mayor roads and highways in Caracas are usually blocked when bikers hold funeral processions. These groups terrify drivers who are stuck in traffic by robbing, harassing, or assaulting them.
