Fugitive in Temperley Student Killing Arrested in Facebook Sale Sting

Prosecutors say the case now advances to charges supported by vehicle forensics plus digital evidence.

Overview

  • Police arrested Matías Ezequiel Daller in Villa Elvira, La Plata, on Tuesday after officers posed as buyers for a phone he arranged to sell on Facebook.
  • Detectives had traced his movements through CCTV, cell‑tower hits, phone taps, a virtual wallet, and records tied to SUBE, the Buenos Aires transit fare card.
  • The April 24 shooting killed 21‑year‑old student Agustín Rivero in Temperley during an attempted robbery that witnesses said began with assailants stepping from a black VW Voyage.
  • Two alleged accomplices, brothers Lautaro and Miguel Silva, were detained on April 25 after urgent raids, and investigators recovered a VW Voyage and a Renault Kangoo that had been stolen and used in the crime spree.
  • UFI No. 7 in Lomas de Zamora is pursuing homicide criminis causa and aggravated robbery as forensic teams review fingerprints, genetic traces, phones, and the seized handset, with three main suspects now in custody.
