The Mossos d'Esquadra are investigating a new crime in Catalonia. A young man died stabbed this Thursday morning in Cubelles, in the Garraf region. The events took place around 11 a.m. near the town's cemetery. According to police sources, the Mossos have arrested a man as the alleged perpetrator of the crime. The body was found lying on the sidewalk next to the cemetery car park.

A month ago, on June 3rd, the body of a woman appeared floating in the Segre River near Lleida. According to sources consulted by this newspaper, her death is being investigated as a criminal death. That is, as a homicide. After weeks trying to identify the victim, the Mossos d'Esquadra finally decided this Thursday morning to make public an image of the woman generated with artificial intelligence and to ask for citizen collaboration.

The shooting death of a 15-year-old minor in the Pegaso park in the Sant Andreu district of Barcelona has caused understandable social alarm for several reasons. The main one is the victim's age, practically a child, but the next is that the weapon used was a pistol. This is a particularly worrying fact because the Mossos have already detected an increase in the use of firearms related to organized or disorganized crime, and they consider it an absolute priority right now. Furthermore, the murder did not occur within the framework of a fight between groups of young people, nor was it an isolated incident, but rather the Mossos are working with the hypothesis that the homicide or homicides expressly went to look for the victim and shot them with a firearm with the intention of killing.

A teenager died on Thursday night in Barcelona after being shot, bringing the total number of shooting deaths in Catalonia to seven in just four months. According to the latest count by the USPAC police union, as of June 1, there have been 28 shootings in the country, 45% more than the previous year, most of them in the city of Barcelona. The Mossos d'Esquadra say that the first six shooting murders are related to organized crime and drug trafficking, and suggest a gang confrontation as a possible cause for the latest incident. These are all the cases so far:

The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a 41-year-old woman in Sant Salvador de Guardiola (Bages) as the alleged perpetrator of the violent death of her partner, a 46-year-old man. The events occurred in February in Manresa. A man was admitted to the hospital and ended up dying. Initially, no obvious signs of criminality were found on his body, but the investigation has taken a turn.

Silvia Guerrero learned on August 21 that her son Juan had been stabbed that early morning in a fight in Tàrrega. He was 18 years old and was only a few months older than the sole accused of his death, who was 17. She still doesn't know when the trial for her son's death will be, and since then she has dedicated herself to demanding that the criminal consequences for minors be more severe and more similar to those assumed by adults. With the families of four victims, a month ago they presented 130,000 signatures in Congress to demand it. Juan's family has requested that the accused of killing him serve eight years of confinement, the maximum provided by law.

New crime in Catalonia. The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested two men, aged 46 and 79, for their alleged involvement in the violent death of another man in Reus, in the Baix Camp region. The homicide took place this Saturday around two in the afternoon, when the Mossos received notice of a fight inside a farmhouse in Reus.

In the realm of security, there are often perceptions in society that do not quite align with police data. There is a reality: two highly publicized homicides have recently occurred, both in the street and with witnesses who saw them up close. But, with the data in hand, for the police, the increase in crime in Catalonia –or the idea that there is now more than before– is a perception: last year fifty-four homicides were committed, the same as a decade ago. This year nineteen have been committed and, if the pace of cases is maintained like this, the year could end with a similar balance to 2025.

The Bon Pastor neighborhood of Barcelona is still in shock over a crime that shook the community five days ago. En Pepe, a man with mobility and respiratory problems, allegedly stabbed a young man who had stolen a chain from him, and the thief ended up dying. The man has already been taken into provisional prison, a judicial decision that has outraged part of the neighborhood, which justifies it as self-defense and denounces that En Pepe is in a delicate state of health.

The Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) have arrested four men for their alleged involvement in the death of a young man who was stabbed to death on September 30th in Barcelona. The 25-year-old was fatally stabbed on the landing of the third floor of a building in the Bon Pastor neighborhood, in BarcelonaAccording to information obtained by ARA, the Catalan police are investigating whether the murder is linked to a jewelry sale. The Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) have reported that the four detainees are between 19 and 30 years old and were arrested in two phases as the investigation progressed. Two of the men were arrested in October, and the other two were arrested this week, on Wednesday, November 12th, and Thursday, November 13th. Two of those arrested have been remanded in custody without bail, while the other two have been released with precautionary measures. The victim was found on the building's landing after suffering multiple stab wounds and blows. As ARA has learned, the victim was not a resident of the building and arrived on a motorcycle just minutes before the fatal attack. It appears he was accompanied. The police investigation also suggests that the young man had gone to the blog to purchase jewelry. He was carrying a significant amount of cash, and the transaction ended in the worst possible way: the sellers kept his money and are also being investigated as the suspected perpetrators of his death.

"Do you have a light?" The question was asked by a man looking for a cigarette on September 13th near the Sant Carles Market in Granollers. While searching for a lighter on the street, he ended up asking a man whose back was turned. The answer he got was negative. No, he didn't have a lighter on him. And that was the origin of a completely unexpected reaction: the man who wanted to smoke stabbed the man who had refused to light him, leaving him seriously injured.

The Parc des Colores in Mollet del Vallès was the last major work of architect Enric Miralles, inaugurated in 2001, a year after his death. It's a space designed to connect neighborhoods, which he achieves with sinuous cement structures, blue-painted floors, sand, trees, pergolas, water features (now defunct), and a grand staircase that presides over the space, designed for concerts and shows. It's a park that by day is filled with children playing ball, swinging, and chasing each other, and which, according to some residents, by night often brings together young people who make the most of the early morning. Last Friday night, the grand staircase, with modernist touches reminiscent of Gaudí, was stained with blood.

The death in Ibiza of Italian DJ Michele Noschese, known as Godzi, has caused shock in Italy, after his father filed a formal complaint in Spain accusing Civil Guard officers of homicide.
