The vicinity of the Los Cardales country club, located at kilometer 4 of Route 4 in the Exaltación de la Cruz district of Buenos Aires, was the scene of a mysterious crime: a man was shot to death by unknown assailants who were allegedly traveling in a van.
According to local media reports, the victim was identified as Patricio Glave, a 44-year-old man who lived in the town of Exaltación de la Cruz. According to what the newspaper published Campana 360, the wife stated that her husband had left home in the afternoon in his vehicle to the town of Ingeniero Maschwitz to work and that when he was returning, at night, the crime occurred. It is a path that the man used to do every day when he returned to his home.
Initial information indicated that Glave had received two shots, one in the chest and one in the shoulder. However, as the hours passed, it was established that he was shot three times in total. The man would have been shot from a white Utility Truck, according to the accounts of witnesses who saw the attack.
Police sources informed Infobae that a few meters from the lifeless body his Chevrolet Meriva was running and with the lights on. According to the state news agency Telam, Experts from the Zárate-Campana Departmental Directorate of Investigations (DDI) seized five shells of a .22-caliber weapon very close to the vehicle and the victim’s cell phone.
In this sense, the Campana outlet pointed out that the white vehicle reported by the neighbors who saw the attack could not yet be found, since the security camera of the place is not in operation. However, the investigators worked last night on the collection of other cameras in the area to see the moment in which the assailants escaped from the crime scene.
Although the investigation has just begun, the hypotheses that are handled in the file at this time is that it could have been a settling of scores or a murder in the middle of a traffic argument, since Glave was not robbed of anything. That will be something that prosecutor Matias Ferreiros, a member of the Functional Unit of Instruction and Trial No. 2 of the Zárate-Campana judicial department, will have to clarify, who was left in charge of the case.
After a neighbor called 911, several police cars and an ambulance went to the place located in front of the private neighborhood. There they found a man lying on the asphalt of Route 4, already lifeless. Police officers also worked at the scene.. Prosecutor Ferreiros described the event, for now, as homicide.
According to official records, Glave lived in a private neighborhood of Exaltación de la Cruz and his main activity was the “service of advice, management and business management.” He was a beneficiary of the social work of the Perfumery Management Staff and worked for construction and plastic manufacturing companies.
Currently, he was working as an installer of aluminum openings in a venture with two other people close to him, according to the news agency, citing one of the investigators assigned to the case.
