Justice for Gabriel: the crime that ignited the anger
Justice for Gabriel is the cry leading this mobilization. The brutal murder of Luis Gabriel Quintero, a 32-year-old young man, was the event that exhausted the residents' patience. Quintero tried to prevent the theft of a motorcycle from a woman in the San Nicolás neighborhood and was gunned down by the criminals.

He died on the sidewalk, in front of a barbershop, while his friend Iván was also injured. The scene was as shocking as it was symbolic: the crime occurred just two blocks from where, in January, a mother was murdered on a bus.
The event caused a wave of outrage in the community, which quickly organized to demand justice. The Commission for the Support of Victims' Families (C.A.Fa.Vi.) was the one who promoted the call under the slogan "Mobilization for insecurity." The meeting was scheduled for this Friday, April 4, at 6:00 p.m., starting from the corner of Linch and Arturo Illia streets, heading toward the municipality.

Insecurity gives no respite in La Matanza
Insecurity gives no respite in La Matanza, and the residents decided to take to the streets to make their demands heard. With Argentine flags, signs with the slogan "Justice for Gaby," and faces marked by sadness and anger, the community advances with determination. They demand concrete answers from Governor Axel Kicillof and Mayor Fernando Espinoza, an effective security plan, and justice for the victims.
Pedido de Justicia por Gaby
This peaceful march reflects the exhaustion from years of state neglect, political complicity, and impunity. "We can't keep living in fear. We can't allow more families to lose their loved ones to crime," the organizers expressed.
