In response to the growing wave of violence affecting Buenos Aires province, the San Justo community has decided to raise its voice. Under the slogan "Mobilization against insecurity", a peaceful march has been called for Friday, April 4 at 6:00 p.m. The gathering will take place at the corner of Linch and Arturo Illia streets, from where residents will march toward Plaza San Justo.
The event, organized by the Commission for the Support of Victims' Families (C.A.Fa.Vi.), aims to draw attention to the alarming situation facing the town and to demand concrete measures to ensure the safety of citizens.
The brutal murder of Luis Gabriel Quintero was the catalyst for this mobilization. The 32-year-old man tried to prevent the theft of a motorcycle from a woman in the San Nicolás neighborhood and was shot by the criminals. The tragic incident occurred just two blocks from where, on January 15, a mother was murdered by a criminal while traveling by bus.
Quintero and his friend Iván were in Plaza San Nicolás when two assailants approached a young woman and, pointing a gun at her, tried to steal her motorcycle. Without hesitation, both intervened and called for help, shouting. However, the criminals' response was lethal: one of them fired at the two friends, seriously injuring Quintero, who collapsed on the sidewalk, right next to a barbershop.
