The dead, Manuel Julian Sevillano Bustamante, 39, was said to be the commander of ‘Los Fatales,’ a criminal gang that operates in Ecuador’s Los Rios region and has links to other drug cartels in South America.
On the afternoon of September 13, he was shot dead while stopped at a vehicle wash in Mocache with his 20-year-old daughter and a security guard.
The drug trafficker’s daughter was also shot and eventually died in the hospital.
Bustamante apparently went to the same vehicle wash on a regular basis, which aided in the preparation of the killing.
An unidentified attendee caught video of the casket, which was decked with a variety of weaponry.
Several guys placed handguns, shotguns, rifles, and other weapons inside the casket so that he would be “armed to the teeth in the afterlife and could defend himself.” Before closing the casket, someone affixed a hat on the corpse as a finishing touch.
