Suspect Held After Deadly Shooting in South Rosario During Spate of Attacks

Prosecutors now review leads pointing to a possible attempted usurpation in the Zona Sur killing.

Overview

  • A woman was found fatally shot inside a passage off Avenida San Martín al 7000 late Wednesday, with a 34-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy wounded and hospitalized.
  • Police detained a suspect in Barrio Las Flores based on survivor testimony identifying a nickname, and placed him at the disposal of fiscal Luis Schiappa Pietra.
  • Preliminary indications of an attempted usurpation are under fiscal verification, and reports of cash and suspected cocaine at the scene remain unconfirmed.
  • In a separate attack in Barrio La Granada, a 43-year-old man identified as Elvio A. was shot multiple times by a motorcycle passenger; investigators recovered 14 spent casings and noted several impacts on a nearby house.
  • The La Granada victim was transferred to the Heca in serious condition, security forces continued patrols, and the case file was lodged with the MPA at Comisaría 15ª; the Zona Sur homicide marked the seventh killing in Rosario this month.
