In a tragic turn of events, Ecuador’s youngest mayor, Brigitte Garcia, and her press officer, Jairo Loor, were found shot to death in a vehicle on Sunday during an ongoing state of emergency. Police discovered the two victims with fatal gunshot wounds, sparking an intense investigation to determine the motive behind the shocking attack.

Authorities revealed that the shots were fired from inside the vehicle, adding a layer of complexity to the case. Investigators are meticulously analyzing the car’s route in hopes of unraveling the mystery behind the brutal killings.

The news sent shockwaves throughout Ecuador, with Luisa Gonzalez, a fellow member of the Citizen Revolution Party, condemning Garcia’s death as an assassination. She emphasized that the tragedy underscores the dangerous and unpredictable climate in the country, leaving no one immune to such acts of violence.

President Daniel Noboa wasted no time in responding to the escalating turmoil, declaring a state of war against gangs in the aftermath of a violent outbreak linked to the escape of alleged gang leader Adolfo “Fito” Macías from prison. In an effort to restore order and curb the rising homicide rates, Noboa extended the state of emergency by an additional 30 days.

The tense situation prompted the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Ecuador to issue a warning to American citizens, urging them to exercise extreme caution due to the ongoing conflict and violence. As Ecuador grapples with these harrowing developments, the nation is left reeling from the loss of two promising individuals whose lives were cut short in a senseless act of violence.
