Fernando Villavicencio ASSASSINATED
A candidate in Ecuador’s upcoming presidential election, Fernando Villavicencio, was assassinated at a campaign event Wednesday, President Guillermo Lasso confirmed on social media, vowing the killing will not go unpunished. Footage is making its rounds on social media, showing the moment Villavicencio was shot.
Villavicencio was shot dead at a Movimiento Construye political rally at a school north of the capital Quito, campaign team members Cristian Zurita and Rodrigo Figueroa told CNN.
He was gunned down 10 days before the first round of the presidential election was set to take place on August 20.
Ecuador’s Attorney General’s Office said the suspected gunman died in police custody following an exchange of fire with security personnel.
The suspect “was apprehended and transferred to the [Judicial Unit] in Quito. An ambulance from the Fire Department confirmed his death. The Ecuador Police is proceeding with the removal of the corpse,” the Attorney General’s office said in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter.
An investigation into the assassination has been launched, it added.
The moment Villavicencio was shot appears to have been captured on video circulating on social media.
The footage appears to show Villavicencio walking away from the campaign rally toward a vehicle surrounded by several police officers and a crowd of onlookers. As he gets into the backseat of the vehicle, at least 12 gunshots can be heard. A policeman quickly closes the door behind Villavicencio and many people are seen taking cover from the gunfire, including his security detail.
President Lasso said he is “outraged and shocked” by Villavicencio’s killing.
