Ecuador blev rystet af tragedie, da Brigitte Garcia, landets yngste borgmester, blev fundet skudt sammen med sin kommunikationsdirektør.
Ecuadors yngste borgmester, 27-årige Brigitte Garcia fra kystbyen San Vicente, blev fundet død sammen med kommunikationsdirektøren, Jairo Loor. Garcia, en medlem af den tidligere præsident Rafael Correas venstreorienterede parti Citizen Revolution Movement, er den seneste politiske figur, der er blevet myrdet i landet. Hendes død markerer det første angreb siden august, hvor præsidentkandidaten Fernando Villavicencio blev myrdet. Præsident Daniel Noboa erklærede undtagelsestilstand i januar på grund af voldsbølgen, der kulminerede med bevæbnede mænd, der invaderede et tv-studie under en direkte udsendelse. Tragedien rystede Ecuador, og nyheden om den unge borgmesters død har chokeret nationen.
