Ariel Lisandro Leguizamón (25) was "Nico" to everyone who knew him in Rosario. This Sunday he was at the door of his house, in the southern area, cutting wood to cook a chicken to the disc for dinner, when three motorcycles passed, with two hooded occupants in each, and began to shoot: the victim received at least two bullets.
The young man became the 130th victim of a homicide so far this year in the entire department.
"Nico" was a militant of the Evita Movement. In a community dining room of this group he used to be in charge of preparing homemade bread. He was in a couple and had two sons.

"
Last night they killed Ariel Lisandro Leguizamón, the 'Nico', a kid without evil that I have known since 2015 when he started preparing homemade bread at the Luz Esperanza Vida community center," Mariano Romero, lawyer and pre-candidate for councilor, fired him.
"
All that kindness, all that happiness, was taken from us last night. We are tired, we need to turn on the board. Start living without fear of being killed by another kid every day. Hugs to heaven Nico!" he added.
"He didn't do drugs, he didn't smoke. He only thought about his house, his son, his family. He was a healthy kid who didn't mess with anyone, who all day," his mom lamented through tears.
In addition, he complained that the attackers "every day go by shooting and killing those they want."
