A fire at a Buenos Aires hotel that left three women dead and another injured last week is under investigation, an Argentine criminal court confirmed to NBC News on Friday. The victims were all lesbians, according to local
groups. The court identified the three women who died in the May 6 fire as Mercedes Roxana Figueroa, Pamela Fabiana Cobbas and Andrea Amarante; Sofia Castro Riglos was identified as the injured woman. Contact information for the prosecutor’s office assigned to the case was not immediately available. The court identified the suspect as Justo Fernando Barrientos.
groups in the country have said they believe the attack was a hate crime. Protesters took the streets in Buenos Aires in the week following the incident, some holding Pride flags and signs calling the attack “lesbophobic.” Others have called out President Javier Milei, who, upon taking office last year, shut down the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity, among other government programs.
