“Crazy Tito” has been shot twice but is out of danger.
An extra football event has partly tarnished the dream moment that Belgrano de Córdoba is experiencing after his return to the First Division. It is that Roberto Ponce, former head of the barrabrava, nicknamed “Loco Tito”, was shot this Tuesday in the Alberdi district.
The incident occurred when Ponce, 64, arrived at his home at the Armengol Tecera passage in the provincial capital, just under ten blocks from the Belgrano stadium, together with his wife. Who left the leadership of the “Pirate” fan in 2001, after four decades, was attacked by a vehicleor Peugeot brand.
The “Crazy Titus” received two of at least seven shots fired with a 9 mm caliber pistol, one at the ankle and the other below the knee, at the entrance to the corridor leading to his home.
David Zapata, a young man from the Müller neighborhood who was with him, was also injured. In his case, the bullet hit him in the abdomen. Both were taken to the ER and I’m out of danger.
Another boy, as Romina Ponce, daughter of “Crazy Tito” later revealed, “managed to hide behind a car”.
The attackers fled and the investigation into the attack was left in the hands of the prosecutor Guillermo González.
The desperation of the daughter: “My father yelled at us to start the engine”
The daughter of the exbarra told the details of the delicate situation they went through CBA24. He assured them that they returned home earlier because, due to the rain, the popular dish they prepare on Tuesdays and Thursdays was suspended and that they were attacked there.
“Three boys, friends of my father, who cook in pots, were waiting for us at the door. One of them told us that he had threatened him because he had taken pictures with my father. In this, while we were on the sidewalk, we saw the flashes and we heard shots from the Santa Rosa, ”the woman said.
And in addition to graphing despair, he revealed his father’s health problem: “My father yelled at us to start the car. He can’t lose blood, he has health problemsdoes not coagulate “.
At the time of his retirement, Ponce wanted to leave the bar in the hands of Gitano Pedro Minuet, who at the time was detaching him.
However, from another faction, led by Lucas Pavón, they began to advance to take the reins of the position of the “Pirates”, but they resisted.
After some controversies, including shootings in Ponce’s house, during the First National Tournament, Belgrano’s ascent to San Nicolás took place last Sunday, where “El Loco Tito” did not participate. A sporting achievement that, apparently, will have consequences in the stands.
The celebrations of the champion
The Pirate celebrations began in San Nicolás after a heartbreaking 3-2 victory over Brown de Adrogué and continued upon their return to Córdoba, where they organized the “greatest Olympic tour in the world”.
The celebration began on Monday in Av. Circunvalación from Route 9 (Access No. 8), to make the complete tour of the city, where thousands of fans were present who accompanied Guillermo Farré, Pablo Vegetti, Nahuel Losada and company.
A 15-kilometer caravan followed the march of the bus on which the players and the technical staff led by Guillermo Farré, in that symbolic Olympic lap.
On their way down the Avenida Circunvalación, they were not only followed by hundreds of cars, but also received greetings from supporters on each of the bridges they crossed.
But on one of those bridges, number 3, the one located in Avenida Juan B. Justo, in the north of the capital, there was a moment of brief anxiety, since the height of the bus was almost equal to that of construction, then the players on top almost miraculously lowered themselves to avoid an accident.
