Security camera images assisted investigators in their search for the motorcyclist suspected of the crime of Moreno tourist Mauricio Grasso, 40, who was shot in the head early Monday morning.
But the tracking was done backwards, that is, the man was located from the moment he left work until he crossed paths with the truck in which the victim was traveling.
His workplace is a few blocks away, an ice cream parlor, and there he was arrested on Wednesday afternoon when he showed up for work.
He is 33 years old and according to sources in the case, the man
has experience as a shooter
.
Grasso received a 9-millimeter shot in the head.
It was early Monday morning, after 4 in the morning.
Grasso and a 39-year-old friend also from the town of Moreno, like him, and two friends from Mar del Plata left the Momentos bowling alley, in Bolívar and Santa Fe, where they had gone to dance.
They were traveling in the back seat of a Hilux van.
On the corner of Independencia and Bolívar, the man who was the driver's passenger saw two motorcycles that were side by side making "cuts", counterexplosions with the exhaust pipe.
"Well there, king
," the man told them, a phrase that was meant to be a compliment.
The truck turned right and continued down Bolívar until September 20, four streets.
This is in the macrocenter of the city.
Mauricio Grasso, the tourist murdered in Mar del Plata.
The woman accompanying Grasso
managed to see the motorcycles following them
and managed to warn when the detonation was heard.
The shot entered through the rear window of the truck and hit Grasso in the head.
SAME doctors confirmed his death minutes later, at the scene.
The trail of the motorcyclist who fired the shot was lost a few blocks ahead.
That is why the investigators searched the images for the moment before the meeting on Independencia Avenue.
Thus they were able to find the place where the motorcycle had left, an ice cream parlor in the center.
The other motorcyclist, who was with a female companion, got lost on the outskirts, in the western area.
The man was arrested by the Homicide Office of the Investigation Department.
It is believed that this Thursday he could testify before prosecutor María Florencia Salas, in charge of the case.
