00:00With the countdown, the insecurity that was taking place in the area,
00:04especially in Palomar, Villa Sarmiento,
00:06increased day by day and ended tragically yesterday with the murder of the gendarme.
00:11The gendarme, I tell you, Guillermo López, 55 years old, retired yesterday.
00:15The retreat started at this time, it was the last day.
00:21Look at the images, how the justice is working with these cameras that the neighbors provided.
00:25They are cameras of the neighbors, they are not cameras of the municipality,
00:28where you can see the delinquents in the Etios.
00:31Look, the gendarme was coming, because he had just arrived in the neighborhood,
00:34he had bought a house and got out of the vehicle where another gendarme was bringing him,
00:38Leonardo Lopardo.
00:40The delinquents appear.
00:42The man doesn't even get to take out the gun when this delinquent, the one with the cap,
00:47is the only one who shoots and kills him without resisting.
00:51The gendarme didn't even shoot, he didn't even disassemble his gun.
00:55He killed him cold blood.
00:57Look, again, there is the other gendarme, how he sees the situation and begins to examine the collaboration of the neighbors.
01:04This image is being analyzed by the justice,
01:07because it is clearly seen who of the four delinquents is the one who shoots.
01:10They are delinquents, as you know, from the area of the army neighborhood of the Andes,
01:13Fuerte de Apache, where this car, the Etios, appears hours later,
01:16set on fire so as not to leave any kind of trace.
01:19But again, I tell you, the cameras are fundamental.
01:23And there you see again how the delinquents come down.
01:25There are five people in the vehicle.
01:27Pay attention to this, Fer.
01:29This one, with the gun, the one with the cap, is the only one who shoots.
01:33There you can see the gunfire when the gendarme gets out of the car to escape,
01:38he didn't even disassemble, he didn't even give the loud voice that they finish him off.
01:43There are different videos that are now being provided to the neighbors,
01:45which are fundamental to re-arm the cause,
01:48and we are seeing how the escape route of these delinquents was on board this Toyota.
01:52It was one of the topics of the day, without a doubt,
01:55but let's recap and tell a situation that I wanted to consult and ask you.
02:00The time it is given is 10 and 20 in the morning, yes?
02:03We are looking at the camera clock.
02:06The clock is wrong, it was in the afternoon, it was at 6 in the afternoon.
02:09Well, sorry, I'm seeing it wrong, it's 18, 21, 6 and 20 in the afternoon.
02:13Because as the cameras put it, the neighbors put it,
02:16they are domestic cameras that have a wrong configuration,
02:19one stop at one time and another at another, they are neighboring cameras.
02:22Okay, but that's in the afternoon, 18, 20.
02:24That's in the afternoon, 6 in the afternoon, yes.
02:25They see it in the vehicle, they are going to attack it.
02:28Notice that we have all the camera angles, but they are neighboring cameras.
02:31This is very important.
02:33Once it arrives, the gendarme gets off, now we are going to see it again.
02:37There, look, the gendarme is arriving with his partner,
02:40also a gendarme who is still in operations.
02:43He gets off the companion's seat and goes to look for a backpack in the back seat.
02:50A school bus passes by, another car passes by,
02:55and there the criminals arrive on board the bus.
02:57There comes the school bus.
02:58There is the school bus.
03:00Then another car passes by and these criminals appear on the scene.
03:04Another car passes by and there the criminals appear.
03:06Well, there they are, they are getting off.
03:08He doesn't even give a loud voice.
03:10You look at the gendarme, how he tries to escape,
03:13and he falls directly, there he falls.
03:15Yes, there you can see it.
03:16They finished him off, directly.
03:18You say, you see, when they are police officers, when they are prefect gendarmes,
03:23that the criminals know, they see that he falls, they finish him off directly.
03:28Here they didn't even realize that we were talking about a gendarme.
03:33He didn't even give a loud voice, he could have been a common neighbor.
03:36A gendarme happened to touch him.
03:38The regulatory weapon, a 3.80 caliber weapon,
03:41appeared next to the gendarme's body,
03:43he didn't even fall, when they finish him off,
03:48his regulatory weapon falls.
03:49So, yesterday, when the news arrived,
03:52we realized that they killed him because he gave a loud voice and because he wanted to disembark.
03:56He didn't even shoot, Fer.
03:58It was a cold-blooded murder, any neighbor could have touched him.
04:01He touched a police officer,
04:03as I told you, it was the last day, he was retiring.
04:06It was the day he was going to retire.
04:09If you agree, Germán, we move to El Palomar.
04:11We are working live in the place
04:13together with Gabi Prosperi,
04:15with more information, more data,
04:17and more details about what happened in that corner.
04:19Unfortunately, as we said,
04:21we have the image from three different angles,
04:24and we can see what happened.
04:26And I had a question,
04:27don't they identify what a gendarme is?
04:29No, no, no.
04:30It's not that when they see the weapon, they attack.
04:32No, no, no.
04:33Evidently, it could have been that the comrade tried to disembark,
04:37but directly, as you can see,
04:40they throw it directly at the officer, the gendarme.
04:44He didn't disembark the weapon.
04:46Evidently, they reacted to an answer
04:48that came from the comrade inside the car,
04:50but the gendarme didn't even identify himself
04:52without taking out his weapon.
04:53Gabi, Gabi Prosperi is working in the place.
04:57Where the car of the gendarme Guillermo López stopped,
05:02who would find death just now,
05:04his comrade Leonardo Lopardo parked here.
05:07And why did they park here?
05:10Because a few meters away,
05:11there is the house that Guillermo López bought
05:14a very short time ago,
05:15a house that he was going to live with his wife
05:17and one of his children.
05:19A house that, until a few months ago,
05:22inhabited a family that, exactly a year ago,
05:25lived a nightmare of brutal insecurity,
05:28with criminals entering even their own room,
05:32waking them up with a revolver in their head,
05:34beating them wildly.
05:36And that's why that family decided to leave this neighborhood
05:39and sell the house.
05:40This house was bought by Guillermo López with his wife.
05:43They were refactoring it little by little.
05:45That's why you see that they barely put the car here
05:48with beacons,
05:49because they were going to his house
05:50and return to Lopardo's car
05:52to withdraw from here.
05:54Obviously, he didn't make it.
05:56Guillermo López's wife
05:58was also coming to do some refactoring
06:01to this house that we have in the corner,
06:03in the corner of Villegas and Atahualpa,
06:06here in the neighborhood of El Palomar.
06:09His wife had already started
06:11conversations with neighbors.
06:13The neighbors warned him.
06:15This family that lived here
06:17lived a nightmare of insecurity.
06:19There are several neighbors
06:20who suffered more than a dozen robberies.
06:22A very short time ago,
06:23here in Media Cuadra,
06:24they killed another neighbor of El Palomar by car.
06:27Here in the corner,
06:28a couple of years ago,
06:29they also killed a person.
06:31This area, particularly,
06:33is highly violent.
06:36But Guillermo López's wife
06:38replied to that neighbor,
06:39We don't have any problems.
06:41We want to move here.
06:42We found the house of our dreams.
06:44And my husband is about to withdraw
06:46from the gendarmerie.
06:47We are not going to have any problems.
06:49We are going to be covered.
06:51They trusted each other,
06:52even though they knew
06:53that the place was dangerous.
06:54Unfortunately, that danger
06:56took away the love of his life,
06:59Guillermo López,
07:00who they will be revealing
07:01in just a few hours.
07:03Guillermo got out of the car,
07:06as Germán said,
07:07up to here.
07:08And he just fell down.
07:09Here are still the bruises
07:11on this sidewalk.
07:13The shooting lasted just a few seconds.
07:16In reality,
07:17this scene looks more like
07:19a shooting parade
07:21than an exchange of bullets
07:23between criminals and a gendarmerie.
07:27It's shocking to see the images,
07:29to see the place
07:30and to hear the story
07:31that Gaby told us.
07:32They were looking for tranquility
07:34after the retreat.
07:35And that beyond
07:36what they knew
07:37that could have happened,
07:39surely,
07:40the Commander-in-Chief,
07:41Guillermo Alfredo López,
07:43felt that this could be
07:44the place where
07:45he was going to have his retreat.
07:47Where he was going to go through
07:48the years...
07:49And that nothing was going to happen to him.
07:50Of course, of course.
07:51Where he was going to go through
07:52the years...
07:53And that nothing was going to happen to him,
07:54because he was armed,
07:55because he knew how to defend himself.
07:57But I want to show you
07:58one thing too,
07:59if Darío accompanies me
08:00with the camera.
08:01Behind this cell phone
08:04of Canal Colega,
08:05we are going to find
08:06a house in the corner.
08:07Look at the signs
08:08that it has.
08:10For sale.
08:11Many neighbors,
08:12from the number of
08:13cases of insecurity
08:14that they have to suffer,
08:15decide to emigrate
08:16from this neighborhood.
08:17It is a really
08:18very nice neighborhood.
08:19Beautiful.
08:20A few meters
08:21from the access to the West.
08:23Some time ago,
08:24having a property
08:25near such an important
08:26access to the city
08:27of Buenos Aires,
08:28be it the access to the West,
08:29be it the Pan-American route,
08:30undoubtedly,
08:31would have been
08:33a garment of valorization
08:34for any property.
08:35Well,
08:36in this case,
08:37no,
08:38because this neighborhood
08:39evidently became
08:40a battlefield
08:41of crime.
08:42That is why
08:43many people
08:44decide to emigrate
08:45and put their houses
08:46for sale.
08:47And this house,
08:48this property,
08:49they told us,
08:50was bought
08:51by the López family
08:52at a price
08:53much lower
08:54than it is worth,
08:55both the land
08:56and the house,
08:57which is a very large
08:58property on a corner,
08:59precisely one of the
09:00most expensive lots
09:01in this area.
09:02That price, Gabi,
09:03unfortunately,
09:04surely,
09:05has to do with
09:06this desire
09:07of some neighbors
09:08to leave a place
09:09that is beautiful,
09:10but that
09:11does not have security.
09:12Today,
09:13I heard early
09:14one of the neighbors
09:15who said,
09:16it is the neighborhood
09:17in which we live,
09:18where we want to live,
09:19but we do not want
09:20to live this way.
09:22We asked him
09:23if he did not want
09:24to leave too.
09:25I have been living here
09:26for 20 years.
09:27With a certain resignation,
09:28he said,
09:29I'm already here.
09:30They stole me
09:31several times.
09:32Maybe I get the ninth
09:33as Guillermo got,
09:34but they are already
09:35resigned.
09:36And notice that
09:37we have neighborhood
09:38security cameras,
09:39as Germán just said,
09:40who have been able
09:41to provide
09:42precisely the videos
09:43to clarify
09:44what has happened here.
09:45And notice
09:46the neighborhood alarms
09:47that we have,
09:48precisely in the corner,
09:49in a post on the corner
09:50of the house
09:51that Guillermo López
09:52had bought,
09:53there is a neighborhood alarm.
09:54And it sounded.
09:55Unfortunately,
09:56every time an alarm sounds,
09:57it sounded,
09:58but it was already late.
09:59It sounded late, Gabi,
10:00and I wanted to add,
10:01you saw that they escape.
10:02What is this access,
10:03which would be a comfort
10:04for all those who live
10:05in the area,
10:06is a wall
10:07for the police
10:08if they have to
10:09establish some kind
10:10of persecution.
10:11And it is also
10:12an artificial wall
10:13when it also divides
10:14jurisdictions.
10:15This happened in Morón
10:16and the car
10:17appears on February 3.
10:18This also complicates
10:19the whole process
10:20of the investigation
10:21because they are
10:22from different
10:23judicial departments.
10:24Bureaucratic issues,
10:25legal issues,
10:26legal issues,
10:27legal issues,
10:28legal issues,
10:30bureaucratic issues
10:31that end up
10:32resulting in these situations.
10:33Yes.
10:34The criminals have
10:35practically free access
10:36everywhere.
10:37Germán,
10:38there was, of course,
10:39an official message
10:40on social networks,
10:41particularly on Twitter
10:42from the gendarmerie,
10:43also from the Minister
10:44of Security Patricia Bullrich,
10:45who said goodbye
10:46to the Commander-in-Chief,
10:47as we said earlier,
10:48with deep pain.
10:49We regret the loss
10:50of Commander-in-Chief
10:51Guillermo Alfredo López,
10:52sentry of our homeland,
10:53honor and glory.
10:54This,
10:55the message
10:56from the gendarmerie,
10:57also with a letter
10:58of course,
10:59accompanying the family
11:00and friends
11:01in this difficult moment,
11:02and Patricia Bullrich,
11:03who shared
11:04this extensive message
11:05also on her social networks.
11:06We are going to look for
11:07those scoundrels
11:08in their caves.
11:09I assure you that they will
11:10face justice
11:11for having killed
11:12this citizen,
11:13sentry of our homeland,
11:14highlighting the work
11:15of Commander-in-Chief
11:16Guillermo Alfredo López
11:17and talking about
11:18everything that he built,
11:19his commitment
11:20and dedication,
11:21which faded
11:22in an instant
11:23in the hands
11:24of the gendarmerie.
11:25We are going
11:26to look for
11:27the moment
11:28when some cowards
11:29shot him
11:30in the Palomar
11:31while trying
11:32to steal his car.
11:33A hug
11:34with all my heart
11:35to his companions
11:36and loved ones.
11:37In this way,
11:38the minister
11:39says goodbye
11:40to Guillermo Alfredo López.
