"I can't find an explanation. The senselessness, the barbarism, the detachment from life and killing for anything."
Throughout Monday afternoon, social networks expressed their indignation, their anger and the need to do justice as soon as possible, as
a cathartic and impotent reaction
to the murder of Umma Aguilera, the 9-year-old girl who was shot in Villa Centenario, Lomas. from Zamora, when her parents were taking her to the doctor.
Eduardo Adrián Aguilera
(42)
and María Eugenia Rodríguez Álvarez
(41) work in the Federal Police.
Aguilera is part of the custody of the Minister of Security,
Patricia Bullrich
, and Álvarez acts as an expert in the scientific area.
"These criminals have no forgiveness. They are going to pay
," the minister stated harshly, from the Churruca Hospital, where Umma died.
Both Aguilera and Álvarez
were on their day off and were taking their daughter to the doctor
, when they were intercepted by a car with at least two criminals.
While Álvarez was closing the gate of his house, Aguilera accelerated and the criminals fired two shots, one of them hitting the back of Umma's head.
Video
A security camera recorded the passage of the suspects in Umma's murder.
The Federal Police Circle also posted a message expressing its regret
for the fatal outcome of Umma, "brutally murdered by criminals while trying to steal her vehicle. From the depths of our hearts we send our deepest condolences and accompaniment to her parents, friends, comrades and Umma's little friends."
With this image of Umma Aguilera, a march that will take place this Tuesday in Villa Centenario is being spread.
The Mario Madeddu Institute, of Villa Centenario
, also issued a statement emphasizing "the profound loss of our beautiful little Umma Aguilera Rodríguez, a fourth grade student," where the murdered girl attended along with her sister Iara.
"Umma was a beautiful girl, I watched her grow up since she started first grade and she was pure heart and sweetness, just like her sister," said the mother of a classmate of the murdered girl.
Reserved family
Aware of the insecurity of the neighborhood, both Aguilera and Alvarez spoke with their older daughters Iara and Umma, to avoid being on the street and playing with friends from the neighborhood.
"Very kind people but the parents work all day and
the girls are not usually seen with the other children in the neighborhood, they had their activities elsewhere
," said a neighbor on the block, who preferred not to give her name.
"We know that Umma's grandmother has lived here all her life and lived in the same house as the couple and their daughters," says another neighbor on the block.
"There was a brother of the lady (Eugenia Rodríguez Alvarez), also a police officer, who committed suicide."
Umma was in fourth grade at the Mario Madeddu Institute.
The radio hall is full and another man comments that
"I just now found out, through the news, that the boy is the custodian of Bullrich.
A respectful family, but they said little."
Together with her older sister Iara (13) - there is another baby sister -,
Umma played handball and practiced martial arts at the Defensores de Banfield club,
which issued a statement expressing its pain and which will remain closed this Tuesday, as a sign of mourning.
The same thing happened with the Metropolitan Handball Federation: "With great regret we regret
the murder of Umma, player of Defensores de Banfield
, victim of a criminal act. We extend our sincere condolences to her family in this moment of deep pain. Justice for Umma !".
