Former Miss Ecuador contestant Landy Parraga Goyburo was shot dead by two armed men in a brazen daylight attack in a city restaurant located in the Los Ríos Province of the country.

Surveillance footage captured the chilling moment when two gunmen stormed into the eatery where Goyburo and another individual were seated, the New York Post reported.
