Suspect in Rosario homicide surrenders to police

A 29-year-old man, identified as Pablo P., has surrendered to authorities in Rosario following a manhunt for the January homicide of 26-year-old Nicolás Fabián Cortez. The suspect had been wanted since January 3, when Cortez was shot in the back near Platón and Pineda.

The Santa Fe government had previously offered a reward of 10 million pesos for information leading to his capture.

The investigation, conducted by the Highly Lethal Violence Unit (UVAL), charged Pablo P. with aggravated homicide involving a firearm. He has been taken into custody and remains at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor's Office.
