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.

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.
