Troche Homicide Investigation Focuses on CCTV as Neighbors Press for Answers

Investigators say they captured the face of the man last seen with the merchant, yet the suspect remains unidentified as autopsy and DVR analyses advance.

Overview

  • The UFI Nº 2 of Esteban Echeverría, led by prosecutor Verónica Cifarelli, and the DDI Lomas de Zamora analyze six cameras inside the store plus street footage, with DVR access and autopsy results expected to clarify the cause of death.
  • Police told the family they have the image of the man who met Troche shortly before he was found gravely injured, but no identification or arrest has been made, prompting protests outside Comisaría 3ra demanding transparency and security.
  • Investigative sources now discount robbery as a motive after finding about five million pesos, 200 dollars, electronics and the victim’s phone intact at the scene, despite the case’s initial robbery-related legal classification.
  • In Buenos Aires, a knife-wielding intruder injured a security guard at Canal Crónica, shattered studio glass and was detained after a DOEM/GEOF operation before transfer for psychiatric evaluation.
  • In La Plata, 25-year-old Rodrigo Nazareno Delgado Montero died at Hospital Rossi after a shootout following a pharmacy robbery, and prosecutor Betina Lacki is reviewing police use of force; separately, Salta’s Unit of Femicidios investigates a Cafayate femicide with the suspect hospitalized, and Surco authorities confirmed a municipal gardener’s death during tree pruning.
