A woman was affected with gunshot wounds while she was inside a pharmacy in the Nueva Prosperina sector, in the northwest of Guayaquil.

As a result of that, the citizen, who would be the owner of the business, was injured and was taken to a health home in the Monte Sinai sector.

At the site, minutes later his death was confirmed, for which reason several investigative units went to the site to remove the body and collect more elements to clarify the fact.

Fausto Miño, deputy chief of zone 8 of the Police, indicated that the Directorate of Violent Deaths (Dinased) is still investigating the case.

Unofficially, it was learned that extortion threats such as “vaccines” had been being issued in the area. For now, the investigations continue to find the attacker and, if applicable, with his accomplices.

In zone 8, which includes Samborondón and Durán, there have already been more than 100 violent deaths this year. Of those cases, at least 38 events were registered in Nueva Prosperina.

Last Friday afternoon, a man and a woman who were in a vehicle were attacked by bullets on the 22NO diagonal road, which leads to Casuarina avenue, at the entrance to Monte Sinai. Both affected are still under medical care in a public hospital in the same sector.
