Overview
- Family and his lawyer confirmed that 76‑year‑old Jorge Adolfo Ríos died after three weeks in hospital following hip‑fracture surgery and a cardiac decompensation, with his passing reported late Wednesday.
- In July 2020 Ríos shot and killed Franco “Piolo” Moreyra during a violent break‑in at his Quilmes Oeste home and was initially detained at Comisaría 9ª.
- A Quilmes criminal court dismissed the prosecution in June 2023, ruling the shooting was legitimate self‑defense after video and forensic tests rejected claims he had finished the wounded intruder.
- His family and lawyers say the 2020 assault and the extended criminal process left him with strokes, mobility loss, chronic illnesses and psychological trauma that shaped his last years.
- Relatives blamed delays linked to the public health insurer PAMI for complications in scheduling the hip operation, and the funeral is set for Thursday in Quilmes Oeste with burial in Ezpeleta.
