César Chávez, the Ecuadorian prosecutor who was investigating the violent takeover of a TV station in the country last week, was murdered on Wednesday when he was in his car in the city of Guayaquil.
According to local outlet El Universo, Chávez was shot by hitmen after leaving his office. The news was confirmed by Attorney General Diana Salazar. "I'll be emphatic after the killing of our colleague César Chávez: organized crime groups, criminals, terrorists won't stop us," she said.
