Overview
- A verbal provocation inside a barbería on Estévez in Dock Sud escalated into a street fight that ended when a 15-year-old stabbed 26-year-old barber Rodrigo Zurich in the chest.
- The attack occurred around 1 p.m. on Thursday and Zurich was taken to Hospital Fiorito, where he died soon after arriving due to the wound to his thorax.
- Police from Comisaría de Dock Sud located and detained the suspect shortly after the attack and turned him over to the juvenile prosecutor’s office.
- The UFI de Responsabilidad Penal Juvenil N°2, led by fiscal Natalia Milione, formally imputed the minor for homicidio simple and Jueza Gabriela Valsangiacomo ordered a judicial security measure.
- Investigators are using the barbería’s security-camera footage and witness accounts to reconstruct how the confrontation began, and colleagues have launched a fundraiser to cover funeral expenses for the victim.
