On Friday, authorities said Ecuadoran air force general Colonel Porfirio Cedeño was shot down by a hired gun in the country’s capital city of Guayaquil, according to police.

20 rounds were fired, and 20 bullket casings were recovered from the scene. Cedeño was traveling by van en route to a military ceremony in Manta, which was several hours away. Authorities said they believed the attackers were traveling by car.

The condition of the van afterward was described as “stalled in the middle of the road with broken windows and riddled with bullet holes” by Associated Free Press.

Both cities were said to be racked with violent drug crime.
