Kiev, Ukraine (CNN)A former Russian lawmaker and Kremlin critic who fled to Ukraine last year was shot dead Thursday in Ukraine's capital, an official said.
Denis Voronenkov, who had been a Communist member of Russia's lower legislative house before he attained Ukrainian citizenship, was fatally shot in Kiev, Ukrainian Interior Ministry spokesman Artem Shevchenko said.
A suspect in the shooting is wounded and has been taken to a hospital, Kiev police chief Andriy Krischenko said. Details about the suspect's identity and who injured him weren't immediately available.

Many of them were likely CIA assets or sources, some are political opponents, some just knew too much about illegal deals of the oligarchs. But the purge continues.
