translated from Spanish: La Matanza: motochorros shot dead a retiree to steal his truck

Motochorros tried to steal a retiree’s truck when he parked it in the garage of his Rafael Castillo home in La Matanza, but ended up shooting him dead. When the two criminals threatened with firearms, the man, identified as Antonio Ventrice, resisted. In fact, there are two suspects in custody.  “He was a hardworking, kind man. I have a life ahead of me destroyed,” the victim’s wife Telefé Franca told Telefé Franca. “He was a hardworking man, father of four, grandfather of nine grandchildren, kind, very sociable to the people. He killed himself by laburating so his children wouldn’t miss anything,” he lamented. The woman also told her that her husband had gone out to work and that she had already warned her that she was coming back so she asked her to put the kettle to take matte together. All I heard was the shot and my husband saying, What do you do, son of a thousand. Then Franca came out the door and her husband came to say, “I was shot.” The retiree died at Pairossien Hospital in Isidro Casanova after being transferred in his own van by a neighbor and two of his children. For their part, judicial sources informed the Télam news agency that several security cameras installed in the area were relieved, where the motochorros are displayed. Prosecutor Marcos Borghi, in charge of the Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) Thematic Homicides of the Judicial Department of La Matanza, is involved in the case. According to Télam, two teenagers 15 and 17 years old were arrested on charges of Ventrice’s murder.The arrests were made at the intersection of Christianity and Lavallol, of Isidro Casanova, in vicinity of a place where both young men took refuge after the attack.
