Ecuadorian military fatal shooting trial

Overview

Seven members of the Ecuadorian Navy are facing trial for exceeding their authority during a military operation on May 18, 2026, in Crucita, Portoviejo. The incident resulted in the death of 22-year-old Rogger Farley Pincay Macías, who sustained a gunshot wound during a government-mandated curfew.

While military personnel reportedly inspected the victim’s vehicle after the shooting, they allegedly failed to provide medical assistance. Police investigations later determined that the occupants of the vehicle were not carrying firearms.

A judge issued the summons for trial on October 7 on charges of exceeding authority in the execution of service resulting in death. The legal proceedings occur amidst broader military deployments aimed at combating organized crime, a strategy supported by President Daniel Noboa despite ongoing concerns regarding the conduct of security forces.
