Overview
- Prosecutors asked the jury to find Tomás Agustín Cornejo Yacante guilty in the 2023 killing of Job Antonio Godoy Sosa, arguing an aggravated homicide tied to a firearm.
- Closing arguments centered on WhatsApp voice notes in which the accused allegedly threatened to kill the victim and discussed disposing of the weapon.
- The prosecution frames the motive as revenge linked to neighborhood narcomenudeo and an earlier shooting at the accused’s home during a football trip to Córdoba.
- The defense contests authorship, says the key eyewitness could not see the shooter’s face, and highlights investigative gaps while noting Cornejo’s lack of prior convictions.
- A friend, Aron Emiliano Pérez, admitted transporting Cornejo by motorcycle and received a three-year suspended sentence for aggravated concealment in a separate abbreviated proceeding.
