The Store Owner Used A Pepper Can To Protect Himself From Robbers But Was Killed By A Shot In The Head

The murder of Cristian Velázquez, the Mar del Plata newsstand owner who died from a gunshot while being robbed, was recorded by the security camera of the business, located on Avenida Jacinto Peralta Ramos 700.

The crime was committed by two motorcycle thieves who entered the kiosk displaying a firearm with the aim of robbing the business. The victim resisted and tried to manipulate pepper spray, and was shot in the head.

The bloody episode occurred last Monday at 3:37 p.m., as seen in the film. Everything happened in less than a minute, from when the murderers entered until the fatal shot was fired, and the criminals fled.

The images show the two involved. The first of them entered armed and dressed in a blue t-shirt and cap, while the other entered more slowly from behind, wearing yellow shorts and a gray t-shirt.
