On Saturday night, a 39-year-old teacher who also worked as a driver for the app Didi was shot five times by a passenger at the intersection of the Presidente Perón highway and Route 3. The suspect, who is confirmed to be an active police officer, shot Cristian Eduardo Pereyra five times, left him on the roadside, and escaped with the vehicle. Eyewitness information and security camera footage show the incident clearly, including the sounds of the gunfire.

The shooting took place around 3 a.m. when Pereyra was completing a ride for the app. The suspect approached under the pretense of being a passenger, only to suddenly open fire in an apparent attempt to steal the car. The victim was left critically injured at the scene, with a significant response from law enforcement and emergency services that arrived shortly after the incident.

Authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crime, including the identity of the officer involved and potential motives behind the shooting. The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of app drivers in urban areas and the implications of police officers being involved in such violent acts. The community is demanding justice for the victim and greater protection for individuals working in gig economy jobs.
