Protesters Block Road, Demand Justice for Slain Teen Agostina Vega in Córdoba

The family and neighbors of Agostina Vega, a 14-year-old girl found dead in Córdoba, Argentina, marched through the provincial capital on Saturday to demand justice. The protest caused significant disruption, with participants burning tires and blocking traffic on Circunvalación Avenue, near the victim's home.

According to La Voz del Interior, police reported a total traffic blockage at kilometer 2.5 on the Puente Rancagua. Agostina Vega was discovered deceased in an undeveloped area of Ampliación Ferreyra, a location that had been under search for 30 hours prior to the discovery.

Gabriel Vega, Agostina's father, was present at the scene along with prosecutor Raúl Garzón and Minister of Security Juan Pablo Quintero. The prosecutor's office ordered the seizure of the mobile phone belonging to Melisa Herrera, Agostina's mother, who reportedly suffered a health complication and was hospitalized.

Claudio Barrelier is the sole individual detained thus far. His presence in the Ampliación Ferreyra area led authorities to intensify their search there, ultimately resulting in the discovery of the minor's remains. The finding occurred less than seven days after her disappearance was officially reported.
