Daniel 'Alambre' González, a celebrated guitarist in the blues and rock genres, was subjected to a brutal robbery in his residence on Avellaneda Street in Caballito, Buenos Aires. He encountered two individuals who pretended to be tenants of his building and managed to gain his trust. Once inside the elevator, they threatened him with a firearm, compelling him to allow them entrance to his apartment. This incident occurred early Sunday morning around 4:30 AM.

Once inside his home, they tied him up and thoroughly ransacked the place, stealing several valuable items including his main guitar and cash. The robbery not only highlights the increasing concerns regarding safety in urban areas of Buenos Aires, but also raises questions about the security measures in residential buildings. Meanwhile, fellow musicians and friends of González, including Ricardo Mollo, have rallied support through social media to raise funds to help him recover from this traumatic experience.

The police are currently investigating the incident, searching for the culprits who are still at large. This attack on a prominent cultural figure underscores the vulnerability of individuals, regardless of their status, in facing crime in the city. The community’s response to support González may also reflect a broader sentiment about solidarity in the face of violence, as citizens call for increased security measures and community vigilance to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.
