Hundreds of Venezuelans have paid their final respects to a popular actress whose slaying in front of her 5-year-old daughter has reignited debate about the nation's rampant crime. Fellow artists and relatives of Ms. Spear, some holding pictures of the actress, formed long lines to bid farewell at a funeral in Caracas. Ms. Spear's sister threw flowers to weeping fans.
While authorities swiftly arrested several suspects, the killings focused attention on President Nicolas Maduro over the government's failure to bring down violent crime that has soared during more than 14 years of socialist rule.
