Ecuadorian beauty queen, Landy Párraga Goyburo, who was shot and killed while dining in a restaurant in Quevedo, might have lost her life due to her social media post that indicated her location.

According to the police investigation, the shooting incident occurred shortly after Parraga posted a photo of her meal, a plate of octopus ceviche, on her Instagram account, which gave killers information about her location, a Telegraph report suggested.

Soon after that post became public, two armed men entered the restaurant and shot her multiple times leading to her immediate death.

The report further stated that Parraga was gunned down soon after her name appeared in a corruption inquiry linking judicial officials to organised crime.

Speculations are rife that the killing was ordered by the widow of a drug lord with whom Parrage is believed to have had an affair.

Párraga had just posted a photo of the ceviche she was about to eat for lunch to her 173,000 followers on Instagram when two armed men burst into the restaurant in Quevedo and fired several times at her.

Surveillance footage captured the chilling moment when two gunmen stormed into the eatery where Goyburo and another individual were seated, the New York Post reported.

Despite attempts to seek refuge, both victims, including Parrage, were mercilessly shot by one of the assailants. The video shows another gunman standing near the exit to keep a watch as the perpetrators swiftly fled the scene, leaving Goyburo lying motionless in a pool of blood.

Goyburo, 23, 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.

The model also owned a goods importing business and  ran her own sportswear line as well, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit and ambition.
