The shooting occurred in the Los Algarrobos citadel, north of Machala. The Police found 17 pods struck.
María Vitelia Merino Abad, 65, was killed with four shots at dusk this Saturday, when a group of hitmen chased a young man who apparently hid among a group of people in the Los Algarrobos citadel, north of Machala.
Captain Cristian Espinoza, head of the Directorate of Violent Deaths (DINASED) of El Oro, indicated that the armed subjects followed a young man who ran about 60 meters and entered a house where two women were. He added that they did not stop and shot the three of them.
The two women and the young man were transferred to a health center, but María Merino did not resist and died, according to the police report. While the other woman, wounded with a bullet impact, and the young man, who was also shot several times, are recovering at the health home.
The agents of the Judicial Police and other units carried out the lifting of the evidence, among them there are around 17 beaten pods of ammunition, which were in the street where the murder of the woman took place.
Although the Police have not yet established the motive for the persecution of the young man, the witnesses – who ask that their names be reserved – reported that it would be a fight between criminal groups operating in the capital of Orense. (I)
