Estefany Puente, a candidate for deputy in the National Assembly of Ecuador, was the victim of a shooting on Thursday, 10, in the city of Quevedo. A bullet struck Estefany’s left arm.
The attack came one day after the country’s presidential candidate, Fernando Villavicencio, was shot dead.
Puente’s car was targeted by two unidentified men. The candidate, her father and a campaign worker were in the car.
Images are circulating on social media of a car with its windshield shattered by gunfire and broken glass.
They were leaving a social organization in the city of Quevedo when the suspects intercepted the car.
Local police are still investigating the motive for the attack and are examining footage from security cameras in the area.
