Ecuadorian police reported on Sunday the murder of former Miss Ecuador candidate Landy Parraga, 23, while she was in a restaurant in the city of Quevedo, Los Ríos province.
Parraga was having breakfast at the cevichería when hired assassins entered and shot her several times, resulting in her death. Landy Parraga's name came up in the Metastasis case.
The model was standing with her partner, looking set to leave the place, when two men entered. One of them approached and directly aimed at the model and shot her. When she fell to the ground, he continued shooting at her.
In the middle of the ac, he also aimed at the ex-queen's companion who was off to the side. The second assassin, who was by the door, advanced and tried to shoot Parraga as well.
For its part, the Ecuadorian Public Prosecutor's Office indicated through X that its personnel were already at the scene to remove the body and carry out the first steps to "determine responsibilities".
The murder was captured by security cameras
The former beauty queen was mentioned in chats between drug trafficker Leandro Norero and his lawyer Helive Angulo, alias Estimado, which were published in the Metastasis case, for which there are several detainees.
Metastasis Case
On December 14, 2023, the political and judicial landscape in Ecuador changed. The uncovering of the Metastasis case shook all aspects of the country, bringing to light the corrupt management of justice.
On that day, the Attorney General's Office (FGE) and the National Police arrested 31 people and prosecuted them for the alleged crime of organized crime. All were accused of belonging to an alleged network at the service of drug trafficker Leandro Norero.
The chats found on the telephones that 'El Patrón' used while in the Cotopaxi Prison, before he was murdered, revealed the workings of the mafia. The information revealed leaks involving police officers, officials, lawyers, judges, prosecutors and more.
