"Just another neighborhood, one of those where daily life is intertwined with the constant threat of death. The security cameras in the establishment captured the horror of the crime and the cold-bloodedness of the attackers. In the footage, one of the hitmen calmly approached, aiming directly at Pineida. The footballer, bewildered, raised his arms, as if he thought it was nothing more than a common robbery."
"But it wasn't. The man, dressed in black, without hesitation, unleashed at least a dozen shots at him as the sound of the bullets echoed with terrifying brutality through the establishment. Meanwhile, the other assailant, his face obscured by a motorcycle helmet, moved quickly toward the player's partner, who was standing a few meters away at another counter. In a matter of seconds, the woman fell to the ground, the victim of a hail of bullets."
Ecuadorian police arrested two people linked to the December 17 murder of Mario Pineida, a prominent Barcelona de Guayaquil player shot at a butcher's shop in Samanes, north Guayaquil. Security footage shows one assailant calmly approaching and firing repeatedly at Pineida while a second attacker moved toward the player's partner, who was struck and later executed. Employees sought cover amid the attack before the assailants fled. The killing occurred in Guayaquil, a city marked by pervasive violence. Sports betting mafias have increasingly made players targets for hitmen, worsening threats to athletes and public safety.
