Ecuadorian influencer and former beauty queen Landy Parraga Goyburo met a tragic end as she was publicly shot dead during a shocking incident at a restaurant. The assailants, two unidentified gunmen, located her through social media, specifically an Instagram post moments before the attack.
Surveillance cameras captured the dreadful scene as two armed men stormed the restaurant while Landy was enjoying lunch with a friend. Amidst the chaos, with patrons diving for cover, Landy and her companion were left defenseless. One of the gunmen relentlessly shot at her until she collapsed, leaving behind a scene of horror.
The motive behind this heinous act remains unclear. Speculations range from allegations of involvement with organized crime to rumors about a possible affair with a drug lord’s widow. Investigators are diligently working on the case, yet no official statement has been issued regarding the motive.
Landy Parraga Goyburo, aged 23, had a significant following on social media, with over a million followers. Her influence extended to a sportswear line and participation in beauty pageants, notably representing Los Rios province in the Miss Ecuador contest.
Her name gained attention in a legal context when mentioned in connection to a slain drug trafficker, Leandro Norero. However, she was never charged with any crime related to this and had refrained from public comments on the matter.
The tragic loss of Landy Parraga Goyburo highlights the dangers of social media exposure and the grim reality of targeted violence. As investigations continue, the Ecuadorian community mourns the loss of a vibrant young influencer, leaving behind questions about justice and the impact of social media on personal safety.
