The 53-year-old Albanian was killed in Ecuador, on the day of Dritan

On the day of the arrest of the head of the company "Bello" Dritan Rexhepi by the Turkish police in a residential complex in Istanbul, an Albanian was shot dead in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

The Ecuadorian media report that the 53-year-old Albanian Arjanit Rizaj was executed with a firearm in front of the "Luis Vernaza" hospital, where he had accompanied his wife and was standing inside a parked vehicle.

Residents and some sellers of the area told the authorities that the Albanian was shot at by a white motorcycle on which two people were moving. They left in an unknown direction after committing the murder. According to preliminary information from the National Police, the killers used a 9 mm caliber firearm.

Initially, Rizaj was sent to the emergency room of the "Luis Vernaza" hospital, and then to the "Panamericana" clinic, where the doctors tried to keep him alive, but the wounds caused by the firearm were severe, causing his death.

The wife of the 53-year-old deceased has stated to the investigators that she saw the scene from very close.

She told the officers that she did not know the motive for the attack on her husband. According to her, Rizaj did not work because he did not have valid documents in Ecuador, therefore he survived on the money sent to him from Albania by his family, or by his brother who lived in Canada.
