Despite the fact that the cases were very rare, there were also cases of murders of football players, or former football players, and sometimes the reason for the killing was precisely the football matches and the results or episodes they produced.
Mostly, we are used to encountering these events in Latin America, where the football betting mafia is quite widespread.
Unfortunately, a serious event has been recorded in Ecuador! Jair Lemos, a 23-year-old player who in the past was part of the Barcelona de Guajaquil team, was killed in the early hours of the morning.
Two people on a motorcycle shot him in the center and so far there is no information about the motive of the murder.
But this is not the first murder that Ecuadorian football has experienced in recent days, as last Sunday Fabian Villamar, the former president of the club Fuerza Amarilla, experienced something similar when he entered an evangelical church.
Meanwhile, in November, two Emelec fans were killed in the hours before the match against Barcelona in Guayaquil. Ecuador is going through a chaotic situation at the moment, where the number of dead has reached 13 due to violence caused by criminal gangs in Ecuador. while 70 people have been arrested so far and there are some injured.
The victims are mainly in the Ecuadorian province of Guayaquil, following the state of emergency imposed by President Daniel Noboa.
According to El Diario newspaper, the Ecuadorian authorities still do not provide official figures for victims and violence, so the number published in the last few hours was calculated based on information published by police or local administration sources.
However, to the two deaths in Nobol and the eight deaths in Guayaquil reported yesterday, three more were added in the Isla Trinitaria neighborhood.
The former president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, has supported the action of the government of Daniel Noboas, committed to fighting the wave of violence in Ecuador.
