They said the militants fired pistol shots from a close range at Ayub Wani, a truck driver while he was leaving a mosque after offering prayers in Kakpora, 25 km from Srinagar.
"Ayub died on the spot", a senior police officer said. He said two brothers of the slain driver are working with state police.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the killing.
