Then a former Miss Ecuador contestant was shot by a masked gunman. He also shot Barga's companion, and completed the crime spree by shooting the 23-year-old girl again as she lay on the ground.
The second gunman had chili peppers at the door of the restaurant. While both the accused are absconding, the police are investigating the motive behind the murder. p

Ecuador: Where is the name of the 23-year-old involved?
In December 2023, the model was named in a conversation released as part of a major organized crime case being investigated by the Attorney General's Office. One of the 52 people on trial in the case was Celiv Angulo, nicknamed “Estimado”. In the conversation, Angulo told drug trafficker Leandro Noreiro, the man whose property he manages, that the police had asked him about Baraka. “If my wife knew about her, I would draw her. My friend, her name is nowhere to be found. Otherwise, my world will fall apart,” wrote the convict, who was killed in prison six months after being jailed.
Transfers made to Baraka's bank account are under investigation by the Attorney General's Office. The company never pursued the model and has not publicly commented on the lawsuit.
