You know where I DON'T wanna go? Ecuador.

A Colorado mother of three living on a farm in Ecuador with her husband and children was shot and killed last month during a violent home invasion, reports said Wednesday.

Francesca Williams, 44, was hanging laundry at her farm in the village of Vilacamba on May 20 when a group of men entered their property and began attacking her husband Michael and her father John, reported The New York Post.

Michael was suddenly hit with what he believed was a brick while standing outside, which caused him to collapse.

Francesca, upon seeing her father under attack, went to try and help him before she too was besieged by one of the men trespassing on her farm.

"She came down to save him, and I guess they started shooting at her," Marianna Bacilla, Francesca’s adoptive mother, told NBC San Diego.

One of the Williams’ daughters, Rachel, a teenager, saw part of the attack happening and recounted what she witnessed.

"I saw my grandpa on the floor with a strange man to the right, then I saw another man with my mom and she was scrambling after him, basically fighting him off," she said according to The New York Post. "Then I saw two sparks of a gun and heard gunshots."

The mother of three was fatally shot in the back.

After seeing her mother shot, Rachel shut the door to their home, but the intruders forced their way inside before asking her where the "large aunt" was.

The teenage girl said she had no idea who they were referring to and said no one had ever visited the farm that fit their description – leaving her to suspect the deadly invasion may have been the result of a mistaken identity.
