Ecuador Presidential Candidate Assassinated

“Ecuador presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio was assassinated while leaving a political rally less than two weeks before the vote as a wave of political and drug violence roils the Andean nation,” Bloomberg reports. “Villavicencio, an anti-graft crusader and journalist, was murdered while leaving a school in Quito. President Guillermo Lasso confirmed the killing in a statement, and pledged to bring the culprits to justice.” New York Times: “His death provoked immediate alarm in Ecuador, a once relatively safe nation that has been consumed by violence related to narcotrafficking.”
