Some sources assure that the balance of the injured is much higher. The boy is for now the only mortal victim.

In the midst of this difficult time, those who were in charge of coming out and talking were his father, Javier; who told how the last hours of his son’s life were, and his mother Elizabethwho provided some details of the shocking episode.

“My partner shows me a video and tells me it was Joaquín. There I ran to the hospital. When I arrived they were operating. The operation lasted almost four hours, when he came out they took him to therapy and the doctors said I that the bullet compromised his intestines, pancreas. They hurt my poor black all overJavier assured, between tears.

Joaquín’s father also described his son as a boy who “liked to go see Luján” and whose life was taken away from him in utter nonsense. Summarizing the story of the previous hours, in which Coronel underwent a lengthy operation, Javier added: “I thought I could go out”.

There are currently no detainees for the attack and the analysis of cameras and testimonies is underway with the aim of identifying the perpetrators of the violent attack. To close, Javier managed to say: “It was something planned. There were infiltrators because there could be no visitors. I don’t understand how a shirt can cause this.”

And the one who spoke to provide some details of the harsh confrontation was Elizabeth, the victim’s mother. “My son went to a football match where there was a riot, bars entered which were not Luján’s but from Morón, Almirante Brown, Moreno, Rodríguez, who arrived with a van, “he said.

“My son fell at the courthouse gate, outside. The blow is in the stomach and they couldn’t get him out … It was so delicate that when the ambulance picked him up he had three heart attacks.”

“A lady told me she saw a truck behind the pitch, which they thought they were fans, but that they arrived, got out with guns, put on Luján’s shirts and entered the pitch as fans but they weren’t. They left Luján at a toll and no one saw them, they got out celebrating what they did on the pitch“, launched Elizabeth, regarding the Alem bars involved.

Who was Joaquín Coronel, the boy murdered in Luján

After his death was confirmed, friends and family were tasked with firing Joaquín in the networks. The messages arrived accompanied by a unanimous request for justice, calling for the arrest of the perpetrators of the episode.

One of the publications in question, which took place through the profile of the therapeutic assistance center Casa Virgen del Cerro houseshe prayed like this: “God, what a great pain. You left us, Gioaco, how can I not miss me? How is it going without you? How unfair, I wish this were a dream. They left us in great pain. I hope that justice has served“.

As for the victim of this bar confrontation, it is learned that Joaquín was a football fanatic and a big fan of Luján. He went to the field with his brothers, and also attended the Scuola Normale Florentino Ameghino. Joaquín was months away from finishing high school.

Now, Joaquín’s parents only hope that justice will be done in memory of their son, who was stolen from them in the early hours of Monday. The focus is on Leandro N. Alem’s bar, and they ensure that at least for now, the Police of the Province of Buenos Aires did not arrest any suspects.

The word of the president of Luján

“The truth is that we are very hurt, very despondent. I have never experienced such a situation. The truth is that we are devastated”, summed up Maximiliano Goñi, president of Luján, who asked to also focus on the recovery of those affected by the incident, which occurred after a group of Alem’s barrabrava, who wanted to enter as part of the 40 managers who were allowed access, was denied entry to the stadium.

Everything was taking place peacefully, but a few minutes later the disaster broke out as Lechero’s bars approached the area again and started shooting at Lujanero fans. Reprehensible.

Some journalistic versions warn that there are political and legal ties between members of Alem’s gang and important figures in General Rodríguez’s commune.

Goñi ignored those versions. “We have dedicated ourselves to organizing a sports show, managing a club with an important social life. Nothing more. Everything else is not our responsibility”, he said in a dialogue with Radio La’s “Viluta 910” program. Red.

And he added: “I was inside the stadium. The match took place normally until the 14th minute, when the events in the public domain were unleashed. I could not see anything but the images that everyone saw. From the club the only what we have what we have to do is respect the justice and security agencies, let them work and provide all possible evidence. “

What drew attention, in this context, was that a security operation was carried out with 90 police officers, about twice as many as in other games, which suggests that there was an alert ahead of the classic. “We did it at the request of the security agencies”, concluded Goñi, trying once again to dissociate himself from the responsibility for accidents.
