Local media outlet Ecuavisa revealed that Goyburo had been in Quevedo to attend a wedding the day before the tragic incident, the US newspaper said. The motive behind the targeted attack remains unclear, prompting law enforcement authorities to launch a thorough investigation to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.

At the young age of 23, Goyburo gained significant attention as a former beauty queen and entrepreneur. With over a million followers on social media, she was a well-known figure in Ecuadorian society. Goyburo owned a household goods importing business and ran her own sportswear line, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit and ambition.

Her untimely demise has sent shockwaves through the community, raising concerns about safety and security in the region. The revelation of her connection to a prominent gang boss, as mentioned in a previous chat between individuals involved in criminal activities, has added complexity to the investigation.
