Another violent death shakes the Recoleta neighborhood in the city of Buenos Aires : a strong argument inside a hair salon between two employees led to oneHe pulled out a gun and shot his co-worker in the head.

The 33-year-old victim died in the hospital, the 43-year-old murderer fled and police forces are still searching for him.

The homicide occurred on Wednesday afternoon in a hair salon named “Verdini” located at 3000 Beruti Street , almost on the corner with Austria. City Police officers went there after a call to 911 from a person who reported what had happened.

As LA NACION learned from police sources, once at the scene, the agents found the victim identified as Gabriel Medina with cardiorespiratory arrest. He was immediately transferred to the Fernández Hospital where, despite his efforts, he died. The young man had been working at the hair salon for a year as a colorist.

“ The patient was in serious condition and we had transferred him with cardiorespiratory arrest . He continued with the maneuvers in the Fernández shock room trying to reverse the situation, but unfortunately he died,” explained the head of SAME, Alberto Crescenti , in television statements. In that sense, the doctor stressed that the severity of the wound - “a shot to the head” - left little chance of saving his life despite the efforts made.

The sequence would have started with an argument in the hair salon once the place closed to the public. There, as indicated to this medium, the victim, the perpetrator and three other people (a woman and two men) stayed “having drinks” until a strong argument occurred that led to the tragic end.

From one moment to the next, the attacker - who has not yet been arrested, but was identified as Luis Abel Guzmán , 43 years old - took out a firearm from among his clothes and shot Medina in the head. He subsequently fled the crime scene by escaping through the window. According to him, Guzmán had worked there for a decade as the right-hand man of the owner Facundo Verdini , the owner of the hair salon chain
