Renowned extremism expert Hisham Al Hashemi was shot outside his home in Baghdad on Monday and died shortly thereafter at a local hospital, Iraqi officials told AFP.
Hashemi was an authoritative voice on extremist factions including Daesh, but was also frequently consulted by media and foreign governments on domestic Iraqi politics and Shiite armed groups.
He had warm ties with top decision-makers, including President Barham Saleh, but was also trusted by rival parties and armed groups, which used him as a mediator.
The investigator assigned to the killing told AFP that Hashemi, 47, walked out of his home in east Baghdad and was getting into his car when three gunmen on two motorcycles fired at him from metres away.
Hashemi was wounded and ducked behind his car, but the gunmen approached and shot him four times in the head at close range, the investigator said.
A medical source at the hospital confirmed to AFP that Hashemi had suffered "a hail of bullet wounds in several body parts."
"He passed away and his body is now in the hospital freezer," said Saad Maan, head of the ministry's media relations department.
