Three years ago, a criminal on a motorcycle shot at the house of Marta Susana Bustamante in Rosario and killed a neighbor by mistake.
At that time, "Chana" was under suspicion in drug trafficking investigations.
This Monday,
the scene was repeated in the south of the city and the 51-year-old woman did not survive
the attack from a car.
Official sources confirmed that the owner of the house located on passage Guerrico at 3700 was shot
in the head
while she was on the sidewalk.
After the murderers fled, she was taken privately to the Provincial Hospital and the doctors confirmed her death.
The Public Prosecutor's Office (MPA) specified that the crime took place around 6:30 p.m., an hour after another similar attack occurred some 40 blocks to the west.
Although
another woman was murdered there when she was drinking mate in front of her home
, no indications of a connection between the two homicides were reported.
According to the preliminary version, the criminals who went to kill Bustamante were traveling in a gray Volkswagen Gol.
When the police arrived at the scene,
they found at least four pods served
as traces of the attack.

There was also a store in "Chana's" house
and there were no other people
with her.
The few neighbors who dared to speak pointed out that she had lived alone for a long time and avoided speculation about the motive for the homicide.
The humble house with a pink facade in the Tablada neighborhood was the target of another shooting attack on the night of Tuesday, December 10, 2019. On that occasion, she was unharmed, but a projectile ricocheted off and injured a neighbor
on
Calle 24 de September.
Felipe Schneider was inside his house when two attackers drove by on a motorcycle and one of them opened fire six times.
One of the shots hit him in
the left eye
.
After the attack, he spent almost 36 hours admitted to the Clemente Álvarez Emergency Hospital (Heca), where he died.
After the murder of the 65-year-old retiree, the Rosario Regional Prosecutor's Office established that the objective of the criminals was to
intimidate the woman who lived on the Guerrico passage
.
Some witnesses pointed out that this attack was a message for
Bustamante's son-in-law
, also accused of being a
shooter
in the southern zone since he was a teenager.

"Chana" served house arrest
in that house as part of different causes.
In May 2022, the Rosario Justice sentenced Lucas Alan "Berraco" Espinoza as the perpetrator of the attack that ended Schneider's life on that corner of the Tablada neighborhood.
"Berraco" received a sentence of 20 years in prison for the murder.
"I killed Fat Alan's grandfather
," he had confessed to his mother over the phone.
According to the MPA investigation, the murderer shot at Bustamante's house to
intimidate Priscila, his daughter, and the couple
.
The hypothesis is that Priscila, "Chanita", and the young man were involved in the sale of drugs and staged a fight with "Berraco" who was also linked to attacks linked to the inmate of the Taxi Workers Union.
Another woman murdered at the door of her house
On the other hand, the Rosario Regional Prosecutor's Office confirmed that
another 65-year-old woman was also murdered
in front of her house on Monday afternoon.
Carmelina Núñez died at 5:30 p.m., when a group of criminals in a car passed through Flammarion at 4700 and opened fire.
The victim was
shot in the head and left shoulder
, so that he died instantly.
Neighbors in the neighborhood recalled that she used to cross the street from the door of her house to drink mate on the shadow side.
This is how they killed her after an attack whose motive seeks to determine the prosecutor Alejandro Ferlazzo.
From these episodes,
the Rosario department already has 39 homicides
so far in 2023. Since the beginning of February, 14 deaths have been reported, one every 24 hours.
