The motorcycle that would have been used in the attack was abandoned blocks later.
Due to a reckoning, the crime of Carlos Eduardo Mena Santos, 36, would have occurred last night in the Cayambe neighborhood, in the north of Cuenca, according to the first investigations by the National Police and the Azuay Prosecutor’s Office.
Both institutions had this Friday more details of how this new murder unfolded, the first so far this year in Cuenca and that frightened the public.
According to the police report, the victim came to see a woman who worked in a brothel in the area and while he was parked he was shot seven times.
There it is detailed that last year Mena was released on parole after partially serving a sentence for murder. It is added that he was born in Los Ríos, lived in Guayaquil and a few months ago he moved to Cuenca.
According to the provincial prosecutor, Leonardo Amoroso, the 36-year-old man appeared in Riobamba to justify his arrest, once he received pre-release for the crime for which he was sentenced, murder.

The commander in charge of the Police in Azuay, William Egas, confirmed that the victim came to Cuenca from the province of Guayas, where he was recently released from prison.
The uniformed man recalled that the now deceased “had a criminal record and the motivation was a settling of accounts”, since he had threats from “some organization” in another province, for which he decided to move to the Azuaya capital.
The report detailed that eleven 9-millimeter caliber bullets were found in the area, two of which were located in the skull.
Amoroso said that in the first versions obtained, the subject arrived at Cayambe Street to pick up the woman who, apparently, was his partner and worked in a night club called The Clover.
The testimony details that two men entered the brothel to tell the woman that Mena was murdered. She went out and when she saw the scene she collapsed, staying on the sidewalk to answer the questions of the uniformed men.
He added that another piece of information they learned is that the car in which he was driving, the Black Ford with plates GSH2086, was not his property, but rather that of a woman identified as Elena Jéssica VC, with whom they communicated and also gave them information. In addition, the authority said that a few blocks from the place a black motorcycle without license plates and two helmets were found, which it is estimated were used by the alleged assassins. (I)
