Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. A drive-by shooting in Quevedo, Los Rios province, Ecuador on April 2, 2025, killed one person and injured two others, with perpetrators using 5.56-calibre rifles. The incident occurred in the Grito de la Libertad area with unknown authorship and motivations.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. If confirmed as part of broader criminal violence in Ecuador, second-order effects could include increased security costs for businesses operating in Los Rios province and potential disruptions to local commerce, but supply chain implications depend on whether this represents an isolated incident or escalating regional instability.

Watch points

• Monitor for additional violence reports in Los Rios province or broader Ecuador to assess if this is part of a pattern
• Track official government response and any security measures implemented in the Quevedo area
