Dominican Republic Minister shot dead in his office

-
The Dominican Republic’s minister of the environment and natural resources, the son of a former president — was shot to death in his office by a close friend Monday, the office of the president said in a statement.

Authorities said Orlando Jorge Mera was shot by Fausto Miguel de Jesús Cruz de la Mota, who was later arrested at a church dozens of blocks away after telling a priest he committed a crime and handed over a gun to him.

Officials gave no motive for the shooting, and it wasn’t immediately clear if Cruz, 56, had an attorney.
