Landy Párraga, a former Miss Ecuador contestant who was murdered in a restaurant, may have tipped off her location to the killers by posting a food photo on Instagram.
The 23-year-old was killed on April 28 in Quevedo, according to Elcomercio.
She allegedly had links to an Ecuadorian crime boss, People reported.
Párraga posted a photo of the octopus ceviche she ordered to her 173,000 followers on her Instagram Stories account, the Telegraph reported.
Two gunmen burst into the restaurant a short time after she posted the image and shot her three times.
The killing was captured on a survalience camera. She laid in a pool of blood on the floor after the shooting.
Párraga had been mentioned in text messages found on the phone of drug trafficker Leandro Norero, according to El Pais. The conversations were uncovered as part of a corruption investigation centering on government officials.
Investigators reportedly found photos of her on his phone and evidence that he had been having an affair with her and had given her gifts like apartments and cars.
Norero was killed in a prison riot more than a year ago.
It was unclear if Párraga's killing was related to her connection with Norero.
