It was announced that the event occurred around 2 am in the Unique Supermarket located in Lavalle 2554, between 27 de Febrero and Ocampo, in the city of Rosario. The commercial establishment shows 14 bullet impacts on its facade, all in front of the metal curtains. The supermarket is owned by Roccuzzo’s father, Messi’s father-in-law, and is managed by a cousin of the footballer’s wife.
In the first inquiries based on what the security cameras captured, it is seen as two people traveling on a motorcycle, when one of them got out and fired the shots that were marked on the spot. A witness confirmed that he saw two men on a motorcycle and confirmed that they fired the shots.
