## Resource

A suspected gang leader was gunned down in broad daylight outside Guayaquil’s airport, captured on camera by two teens armed with flowers and stuffed animals — a chilling symbol of the escalating gang violence gripping Ecuador. The killing, just days after the president declared a state of emergency, underscores a national crisis fueled by drug trafficking and organized crime, as the country’s murder rate hits record highs amid its strategic position as a cocaine corridor between Colombia and Peru.
