Ecuador’s youngest mayor, Brigitte García, has been shot d3ad
She was shot alongside one of her aides on Sunday, police in the South American country said.
Brigitte Garcia, 27-year-old mayor of San Vicente, and her communications director Jairo Loor, were found d3ad in Manabi province, officers said.
Police added that the pair had both suffered gunshot wounds and that the gunfire had come from within the car, which was rented.
Ms Garcia – a member of former president Rafael Correa’s left-wing Citizen Revolution Movement party – is the latest political figure assassinated in Ecuador.
