Pilar Raid at Ex-Partner of Romina Gaetani Highlights Wider Police Actions on Gender Violence and Gun Crimes

Courts and prosecutors are using searches, forensic tests and electronic tracking to harden preventive measures in active gender‑violence and armed crime cases.

Overview

  • In Pilar, police searched Luis Ramón Cavanagh’s home and seized a 9mm magazine with rounds, 23 spent casings and an air pistol in a gender‑violence case; the specialized UFI is analyzing the material.
  • In Reconquista, a judge ordered preventive detention for José María García, accused of killing Analía Colomer with a butcher‑style knife, after the prosecutor detailed evidence of prior abuse and the fatal attack.
  • In Balcarce, Antonio David Mansilla lost his morigerated detention after CCTV and satellite monitoring tied unauthorized outings to new robberies, and he was transferred to a Buenos Aires province prison.
  • In Rosario, two women were hospitalized after separate shootings being investigated as possible gender‑based attacks, with provincial justice pursuing measures to identify the suspected expartners.
  • Across Santa Fe, Bahía Blanca, Mar del Plata and Jujuy, police carried out raids and arrests that recovered revolvers, a shotgun and a pistol while probing threats, street shootings and an armed store robbery that yielded 25 seized phones as evidence.
