Shot to death after getting into a police vehicle

The journalist Fernando Villavicencio Valencia, candidate of the Construye Movement and one of the center-right politicians who stood in these elections, was shot dead in Quito as he left a political act , just as she had just gotten into a police vehicle. The murder took place on Avenida Gaspar de Villaroel, according to the newspaper El Telégrafo. Here you can see the images of the crime broadcast by Channel 26, which indicates that Villavicencio was shot three times in the head:

One of the witnesses to the assassination, Carlos Figueroa, campaign adviser and friend of Fernando Villavicencio, has denounced that the crime was committed by drug traffickers linked to the local politics. He also pointed out that an explosive device was found in the place that would have been deactivated by the police.

He was the second candidate with the most support in these elections

This Wednesday, a few hours before he was murdered, Villavicencio published a survey that pointed to him as the second candidate with the most support, 13.5%, behind the candidate Luisa González Alcívar, from the far-leftist Movimiento Revolución Ciudadana (Citizen Revolution Movement), led by the former president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa.

He had denounced the links of the far-left with the FARC and the drug traffickers

Villavicencio was a man who had a police escort after his denunciations linking Correa's Citizen Revolution Movement to drug trafficking and with the FARC terrorists. Last March, in a public statement, Villavicencio denounced that Ecuador was already a narco-state and announced: "Everything is rotten, we are going with the good people to defeat organized crime."
