An Ecuadorian politician was executed in broad daylight in front of a crowd while filming a video about the bad state of the roads in her town.
Diana Carnero, 29, had just chaired a meeting in the town of Naranjal in Guayas after leaving a council meeting.
Two men rode up to her on a motorbike and shot her in the head before fleeing. No arrests have been made.
A local posted about her death: "Diana was 29 years old. This is a nightmare. A hug to her family and all of Naranjal. When you have children of that age, you understand what their parents must be suffering. They cut short the life of a promise for Naranjal and the Homeland. What a disgrace!”
Blanca Lopez, Guayaquil's deputy mayor, posted: "This must end, wanting better days for our cantons, provinces and country cannot mean putting our lives at risk." These words come after the recent spike in violence in the area, highlighted by the murder of Carnero.
