De acuerdo con las primeras versiones, la v\u00edctima intent\u00f3 escapar de los sicarios, pero fue alcanzada y asesinada.<\/p>\n
Testigos relataron que el funcionario fue interceptado por sujetos armados mientras se movilizaba en una camioneta blanca. Tras recibir los primeros disparos, perdi\u00f3 el control del veh\u00edculo y se estrell\u00f3 contra la acera.<\/p>\n
Luego descendi\u00f3 por la puerta del copiloto e intent\u00f3 huir a pie. Sin embargo, los atacantes lo persiguieron y le dispararon nuevamente hasta dejarlo sin vida en los exteriores de la Alcald\u00eda de Manta, ubicada en el centro de la ciudad.<\/p>\n
En los vidrios de la camioneta quedaron m\u00faltiples impactos de bala. Personal de la Polic\u00eda Nacional acudi\u00f3 al lugar para levantar indicios e iniciar las investigaciones que permitan esclarecer el crimen.<\/p>\n
Tras el ataque, las puertas del Municipio de Manta fueron cerradas, mientras que la circulaci\u00f3n vehicular en los alrededores se vio afectada por el operativo policial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
