A former Miss Ecuador contestant was shot and killed by two gunmen in broad daylight after she had been linked to a notorious gang boss who tried to keep their connection hidden.
Shocking security footage shows beauty queen Landy Párraga Goyburo, 23, chatting to a man inside a restaurant in Quevedo on Sunday when she spots her masked assailants sneaking by the door.
One of the gunmen dashes towards her and fires his gun, striking both Párraga and the man she was talking to.
The second gunman stays by the door to stand guard, and after the deed is done, both attackers flee the scene.
The beauty pageant queen is left motionless on the floor, lying in a pool of blood.
Párraga, who represented the Los Rios province in the 2022 Miss Ecuador contest, had been in Quevedo to attend a wedding on Saturday, local Ecuavisa reports.
Párraga, who has more than a million followers on her social media accounts as well as her own sportswear line, made headlines last December when her name was mentioned in a chat between slain drug trafficker Leandro Norero and his accountant, Helive Angulo.
