The murder of Celso Ariel Colman, a young man of 19 years, which occurred on February 13 in La Matanza, caused great shock, highlighting not only the growing violence in the region but also the serious situation in the province of the ultra-Kirchnerist Axel Kicillof.
Colman, who was expecting to become a father, was attacked around 10 PM at the intersection of Escribano Street and Route 3, in the town of Virrey del Pino, by four criminals traveling on two motorcycles.
The assailants, armed, threatened him to steal his white and black Zanella Due 110cc motorcycle. However, when they saw that Colman tried to defend himself, the criminals shot him twice in the left armpit, leaving him seriously injured. Despite medical efforts at the hospital, Colman did not survive the injuries.

The incident was recorded by security cameras in the area, which allowed the DDI officers of La Matanza to track the suspects.
According to the images, the criminals were already following the victim for some meters before committing the robbery. The investigation, led by prosecutor Claudio Fornaro, allowed not only the identification of the perpetrators of the murder but also the establishment of their link to other similar robberies in the same area.
The detainees were identified as Sofía Belén Verde Ramírez and Rodolfo Eliseo Dzionek, both 22 years old. During the raids on their homes, the police seized an arsenal of weapons, including a .22 caliber revolver, a Bersa .22 PGL caliber pistol, and a Neumann & Coliegee 20-gauge shotgun.

Cartridges, ammunition, and other items that could have been used in the crime were also found. Additionally, a Honda XR 150 motorcycle, believed to have been used during the robbery, was seized, as well as a sweatjersey and a helmet, garments that could have been worn by the strikers.
Three cell phones were also seized and will be examined to determine if they are related to other crimes in the area.
The case was classified as aggravated homicide by the use of a firearm, in real competition with homicide criminis causa, meaning that the murder was committed to ensure the impunity of the criminals or cover up another crime.
