Police in Buenos Aires Province have arrested the final suspect in the murder case of 72-year-old florist Victor Emilio Cocozza, who was brutally stabbed during a robbery at his home. The suspect, identified as 28-year-old Marcelo Antonio Caruso, was captured in the early hours of Sunday in Beccar, adding to the arrests of two other suspects, Tatiana Nicole Giménez (25) and Luciano Ezequiel Pérez (27), made earlier that week. Cocozza was found dead at his residence on Jacinto Díaz street after his home was targeted by three individuals acting suspiciously, prompting a police response.

The crime shocked the local community, which is known for its relatively low crime rates, raising concerns about safety and the growing trend of home invasions in the area. The fatalities that occur during these types of robberies, particularly when they involve elderly victims such as Cocozza, ignite public fear and demand for security measures. Authorities are now striving to calm these fears by ensuring that justice is served swiftly and efficiently.

The case also highlights the collaboration between local police and municipal patrols, which is crucial in preventing such crimes and quickly identifying perpetrators. With all three suspects now in custody, the investigation will move forward as law enforcement seeks to understand the motives behind the senseless assault and evaluate how to prevent similar incidents in the future, thus reinforcing the importance of community vigilance in combating crime.
