Dylan Cantero Critically Wounded in Rosario Shooting as Linked Attacks Injure Six

Homicide prosecutor Patricio Saldutti now leads an inquiry into a burst of targeted shootings linked to Rosario's criminal rivalries.

Overview

  • Dylan Cantero, 21, was shot twice in the abdomen outside a home in barrio La Granada and remains in grave condition at the Hospital de Emergencias Clemente Álvarez.
  • Two nieces, about 19 months and 12 years old, suffered superficial wounds, were transferred to the Hospital de Niños Vilela, and were reported out of danger.
  • Attackers opened fire from a grey Peugeot 208; police recovered 33 shell casings and documented multiple impacts on a residence and the street.
  • Two subsequent shootings in barrio Triángulo and Las Heras left six people injured, including Rosa Camino and individuals reported as linked to the Cappelletti group, with patients taken to Heca and Roque Sáenz Peña.
  • Security was reinforced at local hospitals, the case was assigned to the Homicidios Dolosos unit under prosecutor Saldutti, and this marks the second attack on Cantero in about a month.
