Nazareno Juan Cruz “Seizure” Mejías (20) is an old acquaintance for Quilmes researchers. “Seizure” took on public relevance on October 13, 2021, when he was arrested as one of the main suspects in killing Lucas Ivan Cancino, the 17-year-old who was stabbed to the chest during an attempted robbery in Ezpeleta. This morning the detectives they put the handcuffs back on. Now, he is suspected of belonging to the gang of three criminals who went out to steal in a criminal raid in the early hours of Thursday and ended with an alleged accomplice of “Seizure”, 15 years old, killed by an anonymous shooter. In the shooting, “Convulsion” was badly wounded and escaped. Another young man who was with them, also 15, is hospitalized in serious condition.
Thus, the prosecutor in the case Jorge Saizarhead of the UFI No. 5 of Quilmes, took an investigative statement from “Convulsión”, to reveal the mystery that surrounds the cause: who shot them?, since it is still not certain how the events occurred. According to the information you accessed Infobae, the young man refused to testify and did not report the attack. In the same way, Mejías was questioned about the series of robberies he carried out that morning: stealing a motorcycle, trying to steal a woman’s wallet and a man’s bicycle, and he did not give more details. For these hours, the investigators underpin the main hypothesis: that of the man on a bicycle as the person responsible for the murder and they seek to find him.
The episode occurred on Thursday at 4.15 and The investigation began when the police were alerted to an attempted robbery of a 28-year-old woman who was intercepted on Baranda Street at 4300, when she left her house in the western Quilmes area to go to work.
As detailed by the sources of the case Infobaethe woman was approached by three people on a motorcycle and they tried to steal her wallet. The victim resisted, called her father and the neighbors in the area began to turn on the lights in their homes to see what was happening. At that moment, one of the youths would have fired into the air. Later, They escaped without completing the robbery.
About ten minutes later, and 12 blocks from that place, on Lugones street, between San Martín and Moreno, The police were alerted to the presence of two people with gunshot wounds and a motorcycle lying in the middle of the street. It is believed that after trying to steal the wallet, somewhere between the two events, the criminals tried to steal a man’s bicycle. In that sequence, it is suspected that the victim of the attempted robbery would have shot the young people and killed Dillie.
The prosecutor arrived Saizar, who gave intervention to the Naval Prefecture and the Buenos Aires. There, they began a survey where no served pod was found. Nor did they find witnesses who said they had heard detonations, despite the fact that the event occurred in the middle of the night and that at least six shots were fired within a radius of no more than 700 meters.
At the moment, the only thing that was found that could lead to the shooter It is a 9-millimeter caliber projectile that hit the motorcycle that the assailants were riding.
The detectives even got some security cameras from the time of the event, but you don’t get to see what happened. As sources indicated to Infobaeonly one of the wounded is seen escaping from the place, which would be “Convulsion”, and another fall with a dislocated hip, according to reports. For the footage, They established that the young people must have been shot in a 700-meter journey between when they are seen riding the motorcycle until they are caught fallen and wounded.
Thus, the two injured were rushed to the Quilmes hospital in very serious condition and underwent respective operations. Dillie He died shortly after due to gunshot injuries to the abdominal area. While the other, also 15 years old, He remains hospitalized in intensive care with two impacts to the abdomen, the sources detailed.
At the scene of the findings, the police seized the motorcycle, a Guerrero 150cc that, later it was established, had been stolen that same morning from a house located on Calle Varela at 1000, in Quilmes. By hijacking the motorcycle, The investigators found a 9-millimeter caliber projectile that is believed to have hit the vehicle when the shooter shot the young people who were on board.
A few meters away, two 22-caliber revolvers were found with the numbers removed, one of which apparently does not work and another that had three intact projectiles and one that had fired.
Now the prosecutor saizar wait for “Seizure” to speak to begin to unveil the mystery. They also review the records to understand why Mejías was at liberty if less than a year ago he had been arrested as one of Cancino’s murderers
