<p>Quinonez, who was 32, became a national hero in 2012 when he reached the 200m final at the London Games, finishing seventh in a race won by Usain Bolt.</p>
<p>Guayaquil-based newspaper El Universo reported that Quinonez was fatally shot on a street in the north-west section of the city at around 9.20pm on Friday and that another man was also killed.</p>
<p>Ecuador President Guillermo Lasso vowed that the killing “will not go unpunished”.</p>

<p>The athlete’s death was also confirmed by the Ecuadorian Olympic Committee in a statement on Saturday. It said the circumstances of his death “have not yet been clarified”.</p>
<p>Quinonez won bronze in the 200m at the 2019 world championship in Doha.</p>
<p>Andrea Sotomayor, the secretary general of the Ecuadorian Olympic Committee, expressed her sorrow and outrage on Twitter, decrying “so much evil”.</p>
<p>“I don’t have words to express the sadness, helplessness and indignation that is overwhelming me,” she wrote. “Alex Quinonez was the synonym of humility and a clear example of resilience. His loss leaves us with pain in our chests.”</p>
