Google translate The El Cambio parish in Machala, El Oro province, was the scene of another massacre that left three dead and one injured. The incident occurred on the morning of Wednesday, December 4, in a heavy vehicle workshop located on the road to the Unión Colombiana agricultural site.
According to the National Police, the attack occurred around 08:00, when the victims were starting their workday. Two hitmen on a motorcycle arrived at the site and opened fire on the four people.
The deceased were identified as two trailer drivers and a workshop worker. A fourth person, also an employee, was seriously injured and was rushed to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
Relatives of the victims, who arrived at the scene after the attack, experienced moments of pain. "They only worked to support their families," said one of them. This incident increases the violence in the province of El Oro, which in the first days of December has already recorded 27 murders. This led to a meeting of the provincial security committee on Tuesday, December 3, with the presence of the Minister of the Interior, Mónica Palancia, who offered 114 more police officers for El Oro due to the increase in crimes.
The Police and Criminalistics personnel cordoned off the area and collected evidence, while operations are being carried out to find those responsible for the attack, who fled on motorcycles after committing the crime.
