What Is the Level of Stability in Ecuador?

Villavacencio has a long history as a journalist going after corruption in Ecuador particularly during the 2007 to 17 era of President Raphael Correa. He was often on the run hiding at that time more recently he was a member of the Congress and and was now running for president. The details we have from the government are that he was shot and then a gun battle erupted between his security detail and and the assassins six people have been arrested one suspect died from apparently from the wounds sustained but we don't know yet who was behind it.
