Fernando Villavicencio, a contender for president of Ecuador, has been severely beaten by unnamed guys.
Former journalist Villavicencio was shot and killed on August 9 outside a high school in Quito after addressing his youthful fans.
Social media users posted video of the politician leaving the event while he was being escorted by security personnel. The throng outside was chanting and cheering as they passed him.
Right before the gunfire cries out and the back passenger door closes, Mr. Villavicencio is then seen being led into the backseat of a waiting, white truck.
There are over a dozen gnsh%ts, as well as cries and screams from individuals running and ducking for shelter.
Despite not being the favorite, Villavicencio was one of eight candidates in the presidential election on August 20.
