Sources close to the investigation reveal that the origin of the argument which led to the tragedy dates back to a confrontation between two rival gangs in the region. These groups, made up mainly of young people of North African and South American origin, have long been sources of concern for residents due to their involvement in acts of violence.

In the hours following the incident, police apprehended two suspects, aged 18, suspected of being involved in the fatal attack on Reda. One of the suspects was arrested at the scene, while the second turned himself in to authorities after being identified.

The victim was with two other people when the argument broke out. Facing an escalating confrontation, Reda was attacked by several knife-wielding members of the rival gang. Club Atlético Libertad, in a moving statement posted on social networks, expressed its deep sadness and condolences to the family of Reda Archad.
