An unidentified man was shot to death on Friday while students staged another demonstration in a week of small but raucous street protests in downtown Port-au-Prince, the authorities said. Frantz Lerebours, spokesman for Haiti’s police force, said the man was killed in an area where students had been protesting what they said was a prison guard’s fatal shooting of a 24-year-old graduate student last Saturday. The man shot Friday appeared to be in his early 20s and was taken a few blocks to the emergency room at General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.Protesters responded to the shooting by burning a van parked outside a university and setting fire to barricades of tires.
