Fox News
The FBI met with police and prosecutors in Ecuador to investigate the murder of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, while the candidate's party tapped a new prospect.
The candidate’s murder sent shockwaves through the country, with a population of about 18 million, which has seen a sharp spike in transnational criminal gang crime over the past few years. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
Villavicencio was a journalist who investigated corruption from previous governments before entering the ring as a politician and anti-graft campaigner who vowed he was not afraid of the gangs, even though he received threats.
