In the middle of winter break, Richard Minacentral defender of LDU Quito, three-time reigning Ecuadorian champion (two with Quito, one with Aucas), saw his vacation turn into a nightmare. During the night from Saturday to Sunday, the 25-year-old was shot in the leg while visiting family in his childhood neighborhood, Cristo del Consuelo. An altercation of which he was only an unlucky spectator, according to the local press.
Saved by Heaven
Fortunately, more fear than harm: Mina was treated quickly and is said to be in stable condition in hospital.. “God protected him”confided a relative of the player according to comments relayed by RMC Sport. when the club speaks in its press release of a “steady state” and that the “examinations do not indicate any obligation to resort to an operation”.
Not sure that the perpetrator of the shooting benefits from the same divine judgment, while an investigation is now open to find him. The pillar of Central should have reunited with his teammates this week to prepare for the 2025 season, but will obviously have to postpone his resumption.
Rage Quito.
