Overview
- A 42-year-old man, identified as Carlos Mauricio Salguero, was called from the street and shot at the doorway of his home in barrio Ludueña and died while being operated on at the Hospital de Emergencias Clemente Álvarez.
- A 14-year-old boy was shot in the abdomen in a volley of gunfire at a food cart on Lavalle al 4300 and was operated on at Hospital de Niños Víctor J. Vilela where he remains in intensive care in stable condition.
- Police recovered more than half a dozen 9 mm spent casings and at least one bullet impact at the food-cart scene while witnesses give conflicting accounts about whether the attackers arrived by motorcycle or by car.
- Neighbors put the wounded adult into a private car and rushed him to Heca, authorities are conducting forensic processing and witness interviews, and officials have not yet confirmed a motive.
- Local reporting places the Ludueña killing as the sixth homicide in May and the 37th this year in the Rosario department, a statistic that underscores rising urban violence and that investigators may use ballistic matches and witness accounts to seek arrests.
