A femicide in the Argentine province of Tucumán has broken the media silence and exposed what many see as a culture of impunity. Felipe Sosa is accused of the brutal murder of Erika Antonella Álvarez, whose body was found on January 8, 2026, in a field. The cause of death was determined as craniofacial and cervical trauma. Sosa allegedly killed her between the night of January 7 and the morning of January 8 in Yerba Buena. The victim's body was found by two women who reported it to the authorities. Witnesses, including the victim's sister, Justina Gordillo, have provided damning testimony. Gordillo stated that Sosa intimidated her after she filed a police report, even sending her a skull with a hole in it. She also revealed details about small parties at Sosa's properties and his use of aliases. Despite strong evidence, there is public outrage over the prosecution's apparent attempt to classify the femicide as a simple homicide, which critics believe is a step towards a lenient plea deal.
