"Fernando Villavicencio, an anti-corruption presidential candidate in Ecuador's upcoming election, was killed after shots were fired at a campaign rally in the capital, Quito, Wednesday, the country's president confirmed.
What they're saying: President Guillermo Lasso said in a statement he's "outraged and shocked" by the country's first-ever assassination on the campaign trail.
"I assure you that this crime will not go unpunished," he said. "Organized crime has come a long way, but the full weight of the law is going to fall on them."
The big picture: Villavicencio was known for speaking out on connections between government officials and organized crime, the New York Times notes."
