Best Answer

Rep. Leo Ryan

Rep. Leo Ryan of California made a trip to Guyana to try to ascertain why members of his congressional district were disappearing into the jungle. When he and his team approached the encampment of cult leader Jim Jones, five of Ryan's delegation including himself were killed in an ambush Nov. 18, 1978.

The Ryan incident was the last time a sitting member of Congress was assassinated. Ryan's assistant Jackie Speier who survived the attack, went on to serve in the California legislature 20 years before being elected to Congress in 2008.
