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.

"Escalating Crisis: Gunmen Storm Ecuador TV Studio Amid Country's Unrest"

Masked gunmen stormed a TV studio in Guayaquil, Ecuador, during a live broadcast, following a series of attacks and police officer abductions. President Daniel Noboa declared the country in an "internal armed conflict" and issued a state of emergency after the apparent escapes of two gang leaders. The unprecedented assault led to the arrest of 13 gunmen, who face terrorism charges, and marked a turning point in Ecuador's battle against gang violence. The government designated 20 drug trafficking gangs as terrorist groups and authorized the military to "neutralize" them within international humanitarian law. The violence is linked to drug trafficking and territorial control by gangs with ties to Mexican and Colombian cartels.
