Arrests and Raids Advance Probes into Holiday Killings and Mar del Plata Home Invasion

Prosecutors say CCTV-guided raids yielded arrests, with seized vehicles and electronics moving to forensic review.

Overview

  • A 35-year-old man was detained as the alleged shooter in the December 26 killing of Jorge Antonio Coronel, after police acted on neighborhood tips and surveillance images under orders from prosecutor Gabriela Conde.
  • Scientific police reported a single chest gunshot and the case remains classified as homicide, while officers seized clothing and a Zanella ZB motorcycle during searches tied to the investigation.
  • N. A. B., 37, was arrested in San Justo after three weeks on the run, accused of stabbing neighbor Luis Alfredo Campostrini with a screwdriver on December 25; Campostrini died on January 2 due to infection.
  • During that capture, police seized a car believed to have been used while the suspect was concealed, and investigators are examining who may have helped him avoid detection.
  • In Mar del Plata, police seized a white Peugeot 208 with false plates captured on security video, then searched an apartment on Sarmiento al 2100 in a robbery where $17,000 was taken, detaining one suspect and collecting 11 debit cards, phones, a laptop, a compressed-air pistol and ammunition for analysis.
