It all started in Villa Celina (La Matanza) and ended in the neighborhood of Villa Lugano (Buenos Aires City).
It was a journey of a few kilometers that ended in a homicide: a young man whose cell phone had been stolen chased the thief and ran him over.
It was Saturday night when Federico, 28, was robbed in Provincia.
The victim, aboard a Volkswagen Pointer, decided to follow the assailant and rammed him into
the General Paz collector and the Dellepiane highway
.
He caused her death on the spot.
Relatives of the deceased appeared at the scene and said his name was
Ezequiel Ayala, also 28 years old
.
He did not yet disclose if he had a criminal record.
After the fact, those close to the deceased cut off the Riccheri highway, in both hands, in Villa Celina.
The location is close to where traffic was disrupted Friday night.
On that occasion, they protested the crime of
Límber Valero Calle (43)
, a Bolivian national, a construction worker who was shot to death in the middle of a dispute between gangs in the 17 de Noviembre neighborhood.
In that case, a compatriot of the victim, José Ignacio Suvia Núñez (32), was also injured with a shot to the right knee.
The attack occurred at the corner of Antofagasta and Juárez Celman.
Neighbors denounce that the area was taken over by drug traffickers and that the Police do not act.
In the same place where the death of Valero Calle took place, a soccer field located on Antofagasta and 2 streets, a man was killed with 14 bullets in January of this year, in what would have been a confrontation between gangs fighting for the drug business in the neighborhood.
The episode on Saturday night is being investigated by the 8A Neighborhood Police Station of the City Police and the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office No. 26.
At midnight, fifty people cut off the two hands of General Paz and Dellepiane, which caused traffic chaos.
The driver who ran over the young man was arrested and charged with "
homicide
".
The case of the pole dancer
It is the same crime for which the pole dancer Cecilia Rivas was tried, who on May 20, 2018 rammed her car into two motorcycles that had stolen her cell phone in the Recoleta neighborhood, taking advantage of a distraction while driving
with
the window down.
The woman was behind the wheel of her Peugeot 207 going to a birthday, along with a friend.
They left a parking lot on Avenida Córdoba at 3200 and that's where the outburst of the iPhone took place.
Julián Rodríguez Cardozo (24) then ran to the Motomel motorcycle driven by Oscar Alejandro Orona (44).
Rivas's immediate reaction was to accelerate and chase the bike for four blocks.
He always maintained that he did it with the intention of looking for a City police officer to report what had happened.
However, before that he ran into the assailants and rammed the bike from behind.
In that action, as established by the experts, the Motomel "caught" in the vehicle that
ended up dragging it about nine meters
.
Finally, the motorcycle hit a Renault Mégane that was parked on Calle San Luis at 3100 (Balvanera).
Cardozo and Orona were embedded under both cars.
Orona died instantly.
His accomplice was injured with blows to the chest, head and ribs.
He recovered from his injuries and agreed to an eight-month prison sentence in an abbreviated trial for the crime of "
attempted robbery
."
Rivas
was acquitted
in the trial that took place in August 2021, considering that she acted in "legitimate defense."
In her last words, she assured: "I am very sorry for that night, I thought about it and rethought it a thousand times. What would have happened if I acted differently? But unfortunately things happened with the tragic accident that we all know by now."
"If my brother robbed you, I apologize, because I am a worker. But if you killed my brother, you have to pay for it," Gabriel Orona, brother of the dead thief, had said hours after the fact.
