00:00Alomar, once again we have to talk about insecurity.
00:03Here is the video in which he came from working with a colleague
00:08to his house.
00:13And let's listen to what was happening.
00:19Javi.
00:30The one you see in the video, Cata, is the sergeant of the gendarmerie who is going to die.
00:36Listen.
00:38To the amount of criminals who go down.
00:40Raise your hands.
00:46Raise your hands.
00:58This happened in El Palomar.
01:00Yesterday, when Guillermo Alfredo López,
01:04who was the head of the Department of Health and Safety,
01:08the head of the National Gendarmerie,
01:14is lying on the floor with several shots.
01:18Then he is going to be transferred, but practically dead.
01:22He gets in and out of the car.
01:24His partner, Leonardo Jesús Lopardo,
01:28who is also a sergeant, who is in the gendarmerie,
01:32runs to his house.
01:34He was there.
01:36This is according to what is in the information.
01:40Four criminals got down, armed.
01:44There we are going to see it again, the sequence.
01:46What you are showing is terrible, Javi.
01:48Also, I don't know if he got to defend himself or if he got to defend himself.
01:52Yes, yes, he was able to extract his gun and his partner too,
01:54but they didn't give him a chance.
01:56It was four against one.
01:58They were ready to shoot, basically.
02:00Yes, yes. Shoot and kill.
02:02There it is.
02:04This was yesterday at 6.20.
02:06It was his last day of service.
02:08It's terrible.
02:10He was withdrawing.
02:12Yesterday he was withdrawing from the service of the gendarmerie.
02:14Look.
02:16One, two, three.
02:18And the fourth one is about to get out.
02:20And the fifth one is still in the car.
02:24They are shooting.
02:26And look at the roof of the car,
02:28how the impacts of bullets are still there.
02:30We are going to go over it later.
02:32Tremendous.
02:36It's terrible.
02:38The partner is going to get hurt.
02:40Unharmed.
02:42No, no, no. He was unharmed.
02:44No, the criminals mainly targeted
02:46in this case,
02:48López.
02:50It was 6.20 in the afternoon,
02:52it wasn't night.
02:54No, no, no.
02:56At any time of the day.
02:58In this case,
03:00Guillermo Alfredo López is the one who died.
03:02The sergeant is the one who was driving the car.
03:04I reiterate.
03:06On the last day of the victim
03:08in the national gendarmerie.
03:10He was withdrawing after several years of service.
03:12It's the third.
03:14I have an account, I don't know if...
03:16But what I know,
03:18in what goes on in 2024,
03:20is the third gendarme killed
03:22in crime.
03:24In street violence.
03:26Javi, we are already going to the mobile phone
03:28but I want to ask you,
03:30it looks like in the video,
03:32and I ask you if they were able to reconstruct
03:34that they were waiting for him,
03:36as if they knew he was a gendarme
03:38that they were going to attack.
03:40Look, so far there is no data
03:42that indicates that it is precisely against him.
03:44Yes, the car had parked,
03:46it had the beacons placed.
03:48You see that a school bus passes by.
03:50Luckily.
03:52It happened quickly, right?
03:54If there had been a confrontation,
03:56it would not have happened.
03:58And so they go down, once again,
04:00in a fact that has shocked,
04:02not only the force,
04:04but the whole area of Palomar, Morón,
04:06Ramos Mejia and others.
04:08Very hard.
04:10The truth is very hard for his family,
04:12for his friends.
04:14Let's go to the place where it all happened.
04:16Leo Godoy is working there in Palomar.
04:18Leo, how are you? Good morning.
04:20Good morning.
04:22Villega and Atahualpa,
04:24who was doing a normal,
04:26common activity,
04:28which was to leave with his
04:30co-worker,
04:32arrive at his house,
04:34he brought him,
04:36he walked a few meters and
04:38arrived at his house.
04:40But yesterday at 6.20 pm,
04:42all that changed when
04:44these four criminals
04:46were intercepted in this corner.
04:48They waited for the moment
04:50when he came down
04:52and they started shooting.
05:06Tremendous.
05:22He was on the asphalt that the police
05:24just arrived and began to rebuild.
05:26But well,
05:28unfortunately we are talking about
05:30this man, this gendarme,
05:32this chief of hygiene security,
05:34Guillermo López,
05:36who was about to retire
05:38and who had projects
05:40in his life and that these criminals
05:42obviously left him dead
05:44from ... they annihilated him
05:46directly with bullets.
05:48Because he goes down this sidewalk,
05:50here in front,
05:52it is almost where he lives,
05:54at this moment there is no one,
05:56and that is where the shooting begins.
05:58He tries to escape and obviously
06:00also defend his partner
06:02and that is where he receives the impacts.
06:04Here, under this tree,
06:06is where he will finally fall
06:08already badly injured,
06:10it is in this sidewalk where he falls
06:12and there later, obviously,
06:14when the assistance arrives,
06:16the impacts almost at that moment
06:18he is already dead.
06:20Look, in this place, when I told you
06:22about projects that Guillermo López had,
06:24I tell you,
06:26he had his house where he lived
06:28for many years,
06:30as he was about to retire
06:32and there is so much insecurity
06:34that in front of him there is another house,
06:36a little more beautiful,
06:38a little better,
06:40and there he thought he would spend the rest of his days.
06:42He had already bought it,
06:44he had started to renovate it,
06:46and he said, well,
06:48now that calmer times are coming,
06:50I am going to dedicate myself to that house
06:52that has a little more patio
06:54and there I will be able to spend the rest of my life
06:56with the family that had a son.
06:58No, no, he has a wife and a son.
07:00He lived in Merlo, Leo.
07:02He lived in Merlo.
07:04Exactly,
07:06the worst of the moments is happening.
07:08Leonardo Lopardo
07:10is the one who stays inside the vehicle
07:12and miraculously does not receive
07:14any impact.
07:16Notice that later he gets off
07:18and well,
07:20at least,
07:22according to the reports we have,
07:24he did not receive any impact.
07:26But the shooting was tremendous.
07:28But Leo,
07:30I read that Lopardo
07:32runs
07:34to the left
07:36where the car is.
07:38He takes,
07:40I suppose he must have taken the cell phone,
07:42I do not know if the charger
07:44or some other weapon charger
07:46so that they do not steal it
07:48and he runs to the left,
07:50in the street that is in the corner.
07:52He lives there, right?
07:54Yes,
07:56he lives a few meters
07:58from here.
08:00Actually, the one who lives a few meters
08:02is, at least the information we have,
08:04is Guillermo, who is the one who gets off
08:06the vehicle.
08:08Guillermo López,
08:10you will see that he is the one who gets off,
08:12puts on his backpack,
08:14almost saying goodbye to his partner,
08:16who was going to go home,
08:18Lopardo, who is the sergeant
08:20who is inside the vehicle.
08:22When he gets off, he puts on his backpack
08:24and that's where these four criminals
08:26that I was telling you about appear.
08:28Look, the image is so clear because this security camera
08:30is almost
08:32in the same place where they park.
08:34That is the camera that records
08:36the moment of the shooting.
08:38This is the camera in front
08:40that will also record in a very clear way
08:42how these criminals get off.
08:44They barely cross the vehicle,
08:46but as you can see,
08:48Lopardo is waiting for the right moment
08:50inside the vehicle to
08:52take out his gun,
08:54because notice that they open it,
08:56point it at him,
08:58and a week later he falls.
09:00In fact, I don't know if you, Javi,
09:02also have experience in that.
09:04You will see that there is one of the criminals who falls.
09:06Then, because of the way he falls,
09:08he falls as a result of an impact.
09:10And he gets up,
09:12because sometimes with the adrenaline,
09:14they get up and get into the car
09:16and they go the same way.
09:18Notice how he falls.
09:20There is one who takes two steps and falls.
09:22Either out of fright or out of some of the injuries.
09:24There are so many bullets,
09:26so many shots,
09:28that I tell you that it is strange
09:30and at such a short distance
09:32that when he hits me,
09:34he takes something from the car
09:36and runs away.
09:38No, no, I'm not suspecting him.
09:40He doesn't stay to defend himself.
09:42No, no, no.
09:44The commander is already on the floor.
09:46He goes,
09:48he approaches,
09:50he is heard to insult,
09:52because he sees him thrown,
09:54obviously, by the shots.
09:56Then the car returns.
09:58Now we are going to see the sequence again.
10:00He returns to the car,
10:02the driver's car.
10:04He takes something out
10:06and he runs away.
10:08In the opposite direction.
10:10But the criminals had already left.
10:12And what do you suspect?
10:14I don't know if I suspect.
10:16I don't know where he was going.
10:18Unless he went somewhere he knows
10:20to ask for help.
10:22But not staying
10:24next to his comrade,
10:26that's what catches my attention.
10:28Because the friend is dead there.
10:30But you see,
10:32it's usually a kind of code
10:34of security forces,
10:36to stay to assist him.
10:38I don't know if it's because of him.
10:40I really have no idea.
10:42But it caught my attention.
10:44Look, there he goes.
10:46Let's put the audio.
10:48He approaches
10:50his comrade.
10:52They had already killed him.
10:54Yes, they had already shot him.
10:56He returns to the car.
10:58He says, oh my God, oh my God.
11:00Because he saw his comrade.
11:02The commander.
11:04The one he had brought.
11:06That's the alarm that sounds.
11:08He closes the door and runs away.
11:10It's weird, really.
11:12He must have gone in case
11:14the criminals came back, out of fear.
11:16No, but fear, a gendarme?
11:18No, I have no idea.
11:20I don't understand what he did.
11:22I don't understand.
11:24I hope someone can explain it to us.
11:26No, no, no.
11:28What caught my attention
11:30is the movement he makes.
11:32You have to be in the moment,
11:34but you think that a security guard
11:36has a different attitude.
11:38Staying next to him, asking for help,
11:40knocking on someone's door.
11:42But he went in the direction of a place.
11:44I don't know if...
11:46Maybe he lives nearby.
11:48The sergeant.
11:50The sergeant was driving.
11:52The commander is the one they kill.
11:54As Leo said, he gets out,
11:56opens the back door, takes out a backpack,
11:58and these murderers appear.
12:00Let's see if we can put the video
12:02with all the sequence.
12:04Now we get Leo back,
12:06but let's put the video again
12:08of how they approach him.
12:10There are two gendarmes
12:12going to the house of the first one.
12:14They were going there,
12:16except for the house he had bought.
12:18Look, once again, this is how they arrive.
12:20The sergeant drives,
12:22he gets out,
12:26opens the back door to take out the things.
12:34He passes the microphone.
12:36The person who gets out is the one they kill.
12:38The one we are seeing there.
12:40Exactly.
12:42He takes off his backpack.
12:44And that's where the murders happen.
12:48They all get together.
12:52And there they shoot.
12:54There is one who falls.
12:56It seems, as Leo says,
12:58that he could be injured.
13:00It seems.
13:02I tell you that the...
13:06The car of the criminals
13:08appeared on February 3rd.
13:10The car was already recovered.
13:14The car of the criminals
13:16appeared on February 3rd.
13:18The car of the criminals
13:20appeared on February 3rd.
13:22Can you see?
13:24And he says,
13:26go closer.
13:28He returns,
13:30he gets out some things
13:32from the inside of the car.
13:34I can assume
13:36it could be the charger.
13:38A charger.
13:40It could be the cell phone.
13:42Yes, because there he keeps the gun.
13:44And he goes to that side.
13:46It's true that he behaves strangely.
13:48Maybe he went to look for someone. I don't know.
13:51It's strange.
13:52It's strange. Leo, what do you know about this sequence, this observation that Javi is saying?
13:57Did you know anything else about the partner?
14:01What we understand, or at least what we see in the images,
14:05and if there is something that can be reconstructed,
14:07is that he runs out of the shock, and as if to take cover.
14:10Here, look, you're going to have this tree.
14:12Yes.
14:13Yes, which is right on the other side, crossing.
14:16And there is also a cabin, which is made of light, which is also made of metal.
14:23No, but Leo, I don't think it's a cover, because he runs out and runs away.
14:29I mean, it's not that he comes out in a defensive position where he can stab the gun.
14:35What's more, when he comes out running, he keeps the gun on his waist,
14:38he keeps the cell phone, I think, in one of his pockets.
14:41I repeat, I'm not suspecting him. I want to understand what he did.
14:45Once he got out.
14:47Yes, look, that's it. What they told us is that he got here in the area,
14:51that he didn't leave, but that he stayed.
14:54Perhaps as a result of the shock.
14:56It could be.
14:57I couldn't be more precise.
14:58But it's true what Javi says, that he has to defend himself.
15:01It's not that he's a person who may not have been in shock.
15:04Of course.
15:05He has an option.
15:06He may be more prepared for a situation like this.
15:08Yes, yes, yes, no. In fact, the way he acts inside the vehicle,
15:12that's why I say it's strange that he didn't hit anyone,
15:15because it's almost as if he's waiting for the right moment to start shooting.
15:22Then it's also from that place where Javi had come down,
15:26he had put on his backpack, where López also repels the attack of the criminals,
15:32but not more than one of the criminals, they were all armed,
15:35one of the criminals points directly at López,
15:39the one who was, let's say, exposed because he was standing on the sidewalk there,
15:45and that's where you're going to see the impacts,
15:48in one of the images that comes to be, he comes down.
15:52The car was parked here, in this place.
15:55He comes down, puts on his backpack,
15:58and when he takes two or three steps,
16:01that's when the criminals cross the vehicle.
16:04There he takes out the gun, starts shooting,
16:07and there they impact him and he ends up falling three or four steps
16:11from the place where he had started walking.
16:15Yes, he can take two or three steps, nothing more,
16:18from the impacts, and there he falls.
16:21It's true, I hadn't paid so much attention,
16:24maybe, to the action of what Javi told me, but it's true, yes, yes, yes.
16:29Let's see, Leo, what's on that side?
16:31What's on that side, on that street?
16:34No, they're houses.
16:36All houses are trees.
16:37No, you have the tree and you have that electricity booth,
16:39and then it's a neighborhood.
16:41A neighborhood that...
16:42No, but to the left, to the left.
16:43There's no neighbor.
16:44Leo, Leo, wait.
16:45On the same street, not on this street,
16:48where the cameraman is focusing, to the other side,
16:51in the opposite direction.
16:52To the other side, there it is.
16:53It's what I just showed you.
16:55That's why, let's see.
16:56What I just showed you.
16:58To the left, there it is.
16:59There, there, there.
17:00The booth and the tree.
17:01Let's see, let's see.
17:02What's there?
17:03I don't know.
17:04Is there an avenue?
17:05No, there's no avenue.
17:06There's no street.
17:07No, no, no, no, no.
17:08Not here.
17:09No, not the avenue.
17:10Then you have La Gaona, which is behind,
17:11which was the area where they came from.
17:13Yes, no, but they came.
17:14Yes.
17:15And what is it?
17:16It makes the area very dangerous.
17:17Let's see, a detail, too, and I think it's not minor,
17:20is that all the houses that you see for sale
17:25are for sale because people leave for insecurity.
17:28Look.
17:29You can't go in or out.
17:31And we have told you, and we have been telling you,
17:34these neighborhoods of the Alchacencias,
17:36of everything that has to do with it.
17:38In fact, I just sent you an image there
17:40that has to do with the place where they burned the car.
17:42They burned it in Fuerte Apache.
17:43Yes.
17:44In the army neighborhood of Los Andes.
17:46Which is a neighborhood that, reiterated,
17:48sometimes we go back to the issue of vehicle theft.
17:50The Carlos Gardel neighborhood, Fuerte Apache,
17:53is a complex triangle.
17:55Villa Sarmiento, El Palomar, Aedo.
17:59They are hot areas of the suburb.
18:02Ramos, which is in the part of Ramos,
18:04which is the limit that the other day we counted
18:06this theft at the exit, when they arrived at the club,
18:08this mother, and her son came down,
18:10and these criminals also arrive,
18:11who in two hours stole three cars.
18:14Well, it's a complex triangle, this area.
18:17And the neighbors, I tell you,
18:18they put a lot of houses for sale
18:20because they are fleeing from insecurity.
18:22In fact, the gendarme, Guillermo López,
18:25had bought that house,
18:26that a neighbor had sold it
18:28because he was no longer fleeing from insecurity.
18:31And he said, well, being a gendarme,
18:33a security professional,
18:35he was obviously going to put some cameras,
18:38he had already thought about it,
18:39and he had decided to have a little quieter life
18:43in that house on the corner.
18:45Yes, he had already bought it,
18:47he was refactoring it and preparing it
18:49for these days that were coming,
18:50when his retirement was coming.
18:53Yes, that's why it's a...
18:55I mean, why isn't that detail smaller?
18:57Yes.
18:58Because it was probably a robbery.
19:00That is, these criminals who go out for a walk
19:03and at one point,
19:05when they find the situation,
19:07in this case, a self-braking,
19:09a man who gets down,
19:10who puts on his backpack,
19:11the other one who is there,
19:12well, he is half-gifted in that corner,
19:14and there they take the opportunity to get down and steal.
19:18Tremendous.
19:19That is, there are no detainees.
19:20At least up to here,
19:21it gives all the characteristics of a robbery.
19:24No, no, no, no, there are still no detainees.
19:28Look, it's very rare that after these events,
19:31perhaps, when dealing with someone from security,
19:35they put a little more will to try to find them.
19:38But the other days, Javi, you also saw it,
19:41is from the images that were inside the neighborhood
19:46Carlos Gardel,
19:47when the equipment of our colleagues was stolen.
19:50It was all there.
19:52You tell me, did the equipment appear?
19:55No.
19:56They didn't appear.
19:57No, they didn't appear.
19:58They didn't appear.
19:59Was there any detainee for that?
20:00No.
20:01That was in the faces, it was all there,
20:02because they came in recording inside the neighborhood?
20:04Yes, nothing yet.
20:05Neither?
20:06Nothing.
20:07That is, in this case we are talking about a homicide,
20:10unfortunately.
20:11But, look, it usually happens that perhaps,
20:17because now the federal forces are obviously going to work
20:20and they are going to be behind the investigation.
20:22In fact, the minister also made a tweet,
20:25but well, generally they start working there
20:28because the federal forces are also starting to work in the area
20:32and to track and also to look with all their work teams.
20:36We'll see if in the next few days they get to something
20:38and try to detain these four criminals.
20:40Some of them are minors.
20:41What?
20:42It shows that they are minors.
20:43Yes, yes.
20:44And there is a clue too.
20:45They are very young.
20:46And also a clue of some, perhaps, identification of some of them,
20:50by the security cameras, by other details that the police also have.
20:55Yes.
20:56In the neighborhood, Javi, in the neighborhood,
21:00surely there are many more security cameras
21:04of the record of the step of these criminals,
21:06because the neighborhood, having so many problems with insecurity,
21:09there are in almost all the houses and also in some posts,
21:13some more cameras.
21:14You will see that in the corner there is, look, a neighboring alarm.
21:17Well, it didn't help this gendarme much either,
21:21because unfortunately, I tell you,
21:23they shot him directly when he got out of this car.
21:26Leo, we'll be back with you with any news on this case.
21:29Thank you very much.
