On Sunday night, Cristhian Nieto was at the entrance of ‘El circo de Aaron ‘El Chiche’ y Juanito’ welcoming the people who would enter the show, as he was one of the organizers.

According to El Universo, around 8:22 p.m., two assassins started shooting at the official and his partner, Nicole Burgos, also affecting the rest of the people.

About this, the police chief of the Manabí subzone, Fabary Montalvo, said in an interview with the local television network Teleamazonas.

“Versions say that two hooded men, covering their faces, come out of the interior (of the venue) and fire several bursts of firearms at him (Christian),” he said.

After the attack, the fitter was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead “from multiple gunshot wounds.”

Burgos, popularly known as ‘Soy Pipo’, was taken to another clinic for treatment, but they could not save her because she was ‘shot in the head’.

The colonel said the attack was reportedly aimed at celebrities. In their first searches, he explained, they found “a total of twelve marks of a long weapon”.

“One of the premises of this case is that there are some proceedings in which the deceased (Nieto) was accused. Lines of inquiry are directed to the reports handed over to Babahoyo police,” he said.

Montalvo reported that Cristhian had no criminal record, but that he had previously been through four legal proceedings for fraud, intimidation and extortion.

As for the perpetrators, they are known to have abandoned and burned the vehicle they used to commit their crime at the Los Artesanos location in Montecristi.
