"Ecuador Prosecutor Investigating TV Studio Attack Fatally Shot"

Ecuadorian prosecutor César Suárez, who was investigating the recent attack on a TV studio, has been shot dead in Guayaquil. The attack on the TV station involved masked men threatening staff at gunpoint during a live broadcast, resulting in injuries to the journalists. Suárez had expressed concerns about lack of police protection despite interrogating those arrested in connection with the attack. His killing comes amidst a surge of violent incidents in Ecuador, prompting President Daniel Noboa to declare a state of emergency and order the military to address armed groups. Attorney General Diana Salazar expressed grief over Suárez's death and vowed to continue the fight against organized crime.
