Witnesses said Mr Villavicencio, a serving congressman and former journalist, was shot three times.
Video from inside the building shows panicked supporters diving for cover and campaign leaflets littered across a blood-stained floor.
The suspect was also shot in an exchange of bullets with security and later died from his injuries, the country's attorney general said on social media.
In the chaos, nine other people were injured, including a candidate for the country's assembly and two police officers, prosecutors said.
