While saying goodbye to the family and comrades in arms of officer César Eduardo Carmona, justice is developing at least three working hypotheses. The strongest is that the officer of the Criminal Investigation Agency was followed from a financial institution in the center of Rosario, where he was exercising personal custody, in a Citroën C3 burgundy where two people got out and killed him meters from AIC headquarters. Lamadrid and Salvá to steal the backpack he was carrying. All this within the framework of an outlet. “What is not yet known is what is in the backpack. If you have money or if the thieves were “delusional about it” and when they saw that Carmona had a gun, they shot him,” commented the consulted source. The hypothesis of the terrible escape began to circulate after the killers of the police left the 400 C3 left by Sánchez de Bustamante, who is based in the town of Tucumán in Tafí del Valle and has an arrest warrant for robbery. The personnel who are used to the custody of the securities of Rosario Citi admitted to seeing the C3 burgundy hunting in the center of Rosario.
Other theories of the case, which are currently running behind the leak, are directly linked to the investigations in which Carmona, who works in the AIC Intelligence Directorate, participated. On Monday, when 43 attacks were carried out in the framework of an investigation into the seizure of lottery agencies in the hands of the Los Monos gang, where three important women were arrested: Mariana Ortigala, Lorena Córdoba (widow of David Perona) and Daiana Micaela Leguizamón, “La Diabla”. Carmona was supposed to participate in the raid on the house in San Nicolás where La Diabla swallowed the phone chip shouting “now they won’t find anything.”
This Thursday, hours before Carmona was killed, Mariana Ortigala, former star witness in Alvarado’s case, was investigated by federal judge Carlos Vera Barros, at the request of prosecutor Claudio Kishimoto and assistant Franco Benetti, under the accusation of – rent houses where people who sell drugs are immediately housed. In this context, the magistrate ordered restraining order.
Officer Carmona also participated in the investigation that ended in the arrest, and subsequent indictment, of Lautaro Román Núñez, 21, one of the shooters who attacked the AIC headquarters and the 24th police detachment, from Tank, located in Grandoli and Güiraldes. The sign they left in front of the AIC, meters from the place where the policeman was killed, said: “Nico Camino, Eri Masini, prosecutor Ederyk (sic), stop killing innocent people. Otherwise, we will kill the police, judges and prosecutors.

Pablo Camino and Héctor Rodolfo Masini at that time were sent to the federal prison in Rawson. They were later transferred to Marcos Paz, the same federal prison where Guille Cantero was held. Five days after the attack Núñez was arrested. When arrested, he stated that a prisoner, a high-profile inmate housed in a federal prison in Buenos Aires, offered 400 thousand pesos for a policeman killed.
Six months ago
Six months ago Carmona was able to achieve one of his highest work goals. Transferring to the AIC from the Public Order Group of the Regional Unit II, where he worked to prevent the disappearance of the 8th police station, the Refinería, and the 22nd of Pérez, among other destinations. Even if he achieves that desire, it is in the context of serious disasters with diseases within his family. Carmona, like most police officers working in the province of Santa Fe, makes a living salary by doing extra jobs in various financial offices. The last one is located near Italia and Santa Fe. He is a Rosario Central fan.
The Citroën C3 was embroidered, with an arrest warrant in Tucumán, used by the police killers.
“The attack was targeted at this person. We are looking at what the motive is, why he was shot… It is too early to know if there were previous threats. We still need to talk to the victim’s relatives. “Looking we are two people.” At the entrance of the Rosario Technological Center, a few minutes after the Carmona crime, prosecutor Alejandro Ferlazzo outlined the first steps of an investigation that was clearly complicated. When Rosario could not get over the shock of killing a policeman just a few meters from one of the nerve centers of criminal investigation in the region, experts from the criminal investigation office, wearing their Tyvek suits, checked the black Ford Fiesta Kinetic several times, where the official Grondona arrived at the doors of the AIC headquarters. As the hours passed, that image became more relevant as the hypothesis of killing in a context of escape gained ground.

“Carmona is a wise man. Responsible. Along the way. It is incomprehensible that he did not realize that they were following him to harass him,” commented an expert on the dynamics of the City of Rosario who knew the slain policeman. “That car (for the C3 embroidered) has been around downtown doing batons for a week. It’s been a week since we saw it,” he said. Carmona got into his car near Italia and Santa Fe and drove off. in Lamadrid at 500. Without realizing it, he was followed by two people driving an embroidered C3 with an arrest warrant from the Justice of Tucumán. At 3:03 in the afternoon, according to several witnesses, the C3 was parking meters from Carmona’s car, meters from the entrance of the AIC guard.
Two bullets in the chest
When the officer got out, the two came out who came to C3 and had a hard time getting his backpack. When they saw that he was armed, they shot him 13 times. The pre-autopsy report described that Carmona suffered two bruises on the chest. He also had bullet holes in his legs. Transferred in a desperate condition in a private car, he died in the Roque Sáenz Peña hospital. Minutes later the C3 was found by the police, based on calls from neighbors, at Sánchez de Bustamante 400, eight blocks from the police crime scene. Witnesses explained that after throwing away the C3, Carmona’s killers escaped in another vehicle. In that block this Friday there were a series of steps ordered by prosecutor Ferlazzo where no results were reported.

Based on the origin of the Citroën, with an arrest warrant in Tucumán, a series of hypotheses have been opened that will allow us to have an approach to the mechanics of the events. Throughout criminal history, the use of customs has driven the interaction between criminals from different parts of the country who, after sharing ranchadas (together with prisoners with whom they share friendships and interests within the wall) in different prisons in the country. .
Thus, especially in the beginning, they started to “work” in local logistics and steal the guest. Criminals from other provinces arrived in the city and in a short time they showed their grace with as many robberies as possible. There is a band from Tucumanos that performed in Rosario between 2017 and 2019 with a difference reported by its members who live in Ayacucho in 4000, neighborhood of Tablada.
This opens the possibility that the police Carmona was approached by criminals who did not know the city, causing them to arrive at the headquarters of the elite force that specializes in criminal investigations, and perhaps not realizing that the person they were going to. board is a police dressed unmarked vehicle, for private use. And when they saw his weapon, they shot him dead.
