Summary
David Macías, brother of notorious drug lord Adolfo “Fito” Macías and a top regional leader of the U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization Los Choneros, was gunned down in his Olón home by gunmen dressed as police. His killing underscores the brutal power struggles within the gang, which has fueled Ecuador’s soaring murder rates. Once imprisoned but still influential, David had recruited members and controlled his prison cell — now, with his death and the recent arrests of his brothers, Los Choneros faces a critical blow as authorities intensify their crackdown.
