In the early hours of March 3rd, 2023, another violent death was reported in Ambato, Ecuador, specifically in the Las Viñas area near the curved bridge of the lateral road. The National Police's special units from the Tungurahua subzone responded promptly to the scene to gather evidence and initiate an investigation. Their efforts led to the arrest of two suspects believed to be members of the criminal organization Los Lobos, who are allegedly responsible for the homicide that occurred around 3:30 AM.

Colonel Jimmy Viteri, commander of the National Police in Tungurahua, reported that the victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds from a 9 mm firearm, impacting the head and upper extremities. The police's investigative work revealed crucial evidence at the crime scene, including seven 9 mm casings and a mobile phone, which could provide further information about the suspects and the circumstances of the crime.

The ongoing violence in Ambato highlights the growing influence of organized crime within the region, with groups like Los Lobos posing significant challenges for law enforcement. The swift arrest of the two suspects may provide some relief to the community impacted by these violent events, but it also underscores the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to combat organized crime effectively.
