Among the victims is a woman who was wounded by two gunshot wounds.
With four bullet wounds, Darío Zambrano Rodríguez, 34, died next to a black truck in the Villanueva neighborhood of La Unión de Quinindé rural parish, central Esmeraldas province.
The crime occurred after 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday 4, after the victim got out of the vehicle reported as stolen, a few meters from a store in the sector.
Villagers told police investigators that Zambrano had been waiting for a person before several gunshot detonations were heard.
The body of the victim had four entry and exit holes through the passage of the firearm projectiles.
Douglas Palacios, a member of the La Unión fire rescue unit, commented that Zambrano Rodríguez was not registering vital signs when paramedics arrived.
The National Police presumed that the victim had been threatened by the dispute over territory for drug micro-trafficking.
He had a valid arrest ticket for breach of trust and a robbery arrest in 2017.
Luis Reyes, district commander of the Quinindé Police, said that agents of the Directorate of Violent Deaths (Dinased) verify the identification and location of the suspect.
On Monday of this week another hitman-style violence was recorded. In that case, 28-year-old Kevin Rivas Garcés died and three other people were injured after the attack perpetrated by individuals who attacked the vehicle in which they were mobilizing in the Plaza Cívica sector.
With this new case, there are already two violent deaths in less than 48 hours in the green province.
Two injured by firearm
In other cases, two people, a woman and a man, suffered firearm injuries in the cities of Quinindé and Esmeraldas.
The attempted murder of a 57-year-old woman happened after 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday the 4th at the premises of her property, on Gómez de la Torre and Nelson Valencia avenues, the urban center of Quinindé.
The woman was transferred to the Alberto Buffoni Basic Hospital, in this town, for two gunshot wounds and later to a sanatorium in Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas. The motivation for the attack would be interpersonal violence.
In the Aire Libre neighborhood, south of the Emerald capital, a 35-year-old man was injured with two gunshot wounds to the abdomen and back, for which he had to be transferred to the Delfina Torres South Hospital.
In this incident, which was reported at 03:00 on Wednesday 5, a person suspected of the attack was apprehended. (I)
