As our city’s criminal justice system noted, a 68-year-old man, holding a Bersa Thunder .40 PRO pistol, made death threats and loudly declared that he would shoot Mariano Ramírez and his brother Daniel Ramírez on the steps of the C1 Tower on 609th Street between 3rd and 4th Streets in the Airport District at approximately 12:40 a.m. yesterday, while Christmas was just around the corner.
According to the official report, the first was saved by a miracle after the attacker held the gun to his stomach and pulled the trigger several times, a task that he was unable to perform for reasons beyond his control since the shots were not fired.
The fate of Daniel Néstor Rubén Ramírez (45), manager of a municipal cooperative, was different, and “the perpetrator shot him at close range, at neck level, in the left shoulder and another as he fell to the ground,” says the document accessed by this newspaper.
Calls received via 911 immediately alerted the police to the incident, who arrived at the scene and arrested the suspect, whom they identified as Juan Carlos Magen, 68.
In their possession they confiscated the above-mentioned pistol, an air rifle and various ammunition, at least one of which had a Teflon tip, which is used to pierce bulletproof vests.
Of the reasons that led to the outbreak of the tragic episode, the strongest hypothesis used in the investigation is that Magen did not like at all that the victim’s children were throwing fireworks at dawn. I had three.
In this context, in the midst of a fit of rage, he left his house armed and caused a catastrophe that ended in his capture.
Prosecutor Patricio Barraza of UFI 6 accused him of the crimes of “qualified threats by the use of a firearm; aggravated murder by the use of a firearm to an attempted extent and murder aggravated by the completed use of a firearm, all in real competition”, a qualification confirmed by the surety judge Eduardo Silva Pelosi.
There is great excitement surrounding the murder, there are also calls for justice and anger, so it is decided to burn the defendant’s 504.
There were warm expressions on social media for such an unexpected farewell. Ramírez, recently a grandfather, was known as “Pepo” and was associated with solidarity tasks.
“I am very sorry for Pepo’s unfair exit. My heart goes out to his family and friends from the Barrio Aeropuerto and the Villa Elvira delegation,” one of the posts read. They also wrote: “Terrible pain. A person you had to know. If you knew him, he taught you that he was always there in bad times and good. I will miss you every day. I can’t believe it” and “He was always there for the residents of Barrio Aeropuerto… I can confirm the help and here you still can’t believe the news. My condolences to Mariano, Laura, Miguel and his wife Malvina.”
