Two armed men shot the popular 23-year-old influencer who was enjoying lunch with a friend at a restaurant
Landy Parraga Goyburo, an Ecuadorian Influencer and beauty queen has been shot dead at a restaurant. According to reports, the attackers were able to track her because of an Instagram story that she had shared right before the incident. Landy had taken to the popular social media site to share a picture of her savouring ‘octopus ceviche’ for lunch at a restaurant. Two armed men attacked the influencer while she was still at the venue.
This gruesome incident was captured on surveillance cameras in and around the restaurant she was visiting. Based on the footage that was retrieved, it was seen that two men who have still not been identified barged through the doors of the restaurant where Landy was enjoying lunch with a friend. In the blink of an eye, things turned topsy-turvy at the restaurant as the two men started firing. Other customers present at the eatery took cover under tables while the influencer and one other person could not manage to do so.
In the video, it was seen that one of the two armed men shot at Landy relentlessly until she collapsed and eventually succumbed to her injuries. Soon after, the two men were seen exiting the venue leaving behind the body of the helpless 23-year-old influencer in a massive pool of blood.
Investigators have still not been able to determine the motive behind this heinous murder but they are certain about the fact that the attackers were able to track because of her Instagram post. However, in a very short period, there has been a lot of speculation about what the motive could be, some of which also states that there is a chance that Landy was associated with organized crime groups and dangerous gangs and was corrupt.
On the other hand, social media is ablaze with the rumour that it is actually the widow of a drug lord who is behind this murder, and the motive for her to do so was Landy’s alleged affair with her now-late husband. Investigators are working on the case and there has been no official statement about the motive of the murder.
