QUITO, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Ecuador presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, a vocal critic of corruption and organized crime, was killed on Wednesday evening during a campaign event in the north of the capital Quito, authorities said.
El Pais is usually a pretty good source for things in Latin America, it answers most of those but others will have to wait until they have someone in custody I imagine. He campaigned against corruption and organized crime so that is not an unlikely source.

Unlikely to change the outcome, he was not the top candidate.
Thanks, that mostly answers my questions.
