Police Seize Ammunition in Raid Seeking Pistol at Home of Romina Gaetani’s Ex-Partner

Prosecutors ordered forensic analysis of the seized ammunition in the ongoing gender violence case.

Overview

  • The search was authorized following a filing by Gaetani’s lawyer, Ignacio Trimarco, citing a 9mm pistol registered to Luis Cavanagh.
  • Officers at Tortugas Country Club reported finding a gun case, a 9mm magazine with 14 rounds, a box with eight additional 9mm bullets, 23 spent casings, and a 4.5mm air pistol.
  • No occupants were present during the raid, and the items were secured on orders from prosecutor Marcela Semeria of the Pilar gender violence unit.
  • Outlets differed on whether a 9mm handgun was recovered, though the official police account listed only ammunition and an air pistol.
  • The case stems from Gaetani’s late-December 911 call reporting assault, and reporting indicates she obtained a 30-day restraining order against Cavanagh.
