A young man was arrested this Wednesday during a raid on a house in the Buenos Aires city of Mar del Plata accused of having committed the crime of Lucio Garaythe 17-year-old teenager stabbed to death in the San Martín pedestrian street of that seaside resort, police sources reported.
The arrest was made this Wednesday afternoon in a house in the Belgrano neighborhood after the suspect was identified through a witness who provided key information to Justice.

Garay’s crime happened after 1:20 in the morning on Tuesday when He was stabbed to death in the vicinity of the San Martín pedestrian street from the seaside resort of Mar del Plata, in a fight that apparently started with a stomp and for which at least four suspects were wanted.
the victim was attacked by a group of young people made up of two men and two women at the intersection of Calle Córdoba and Peatonal San Martín, near a McDonald’s fast food chain, when he was preparing to have an ice cream with his 16-year-old friend.
A police source assured Télam that “it is investigating whether the conflict originated because these people would have accidentally stepped on another who was in the place.”
The Prosecutor’s Office works from the moment of the episode looking for witnesses and controlling the security cameras of the COM, of businesses in the area and of banking entities that are near the scene of the crime.
Garay was found minutes later after being stabbed in the bathroom of the Ambassador cinema, located a few meters from the place where the attack took place, and where he went to take refuge due to the injuries suffered in the attack and died hours later.
