Arrest and public reaction
Alejandro Daniel Sofía, the primary suspect in the femicide of Aixa Dana Mili, was taken into custody on Thursday by police in Tigre. Authorities located him roughly 300 meters from the site of the crime, according to prosecutor Mariela Miozzo. Investigators traced his whereabouts through an examination of his telecommunications activity. The operation unfolded amid severe tension: as officers attempted to place the suspect in a patrol vehicle, relatives of Aixa and local residents tried to assault him and climb onto the police car.[S1]
The detention came hours after family members, friends, and neighbors of Aixa marched through the streets of Dique Luján to demand justice and call for Sofía's capture. The demonstration began outside the home where the young woman was discovered and proceeded to the local bridge.[S1]
Background of violence and prior complaints
Aixa Dana Mili, aged 20, was found dead on Wednesday morning by her father in the residence she shared with her family. He described finding her hanged and partially undressed, with a rope and a chair beside her body, and said she showed signs of injury. Initially, investigators did not rule out suicide, but as the inquiry progressed, evidence emerged suggesting the scene might have been staged to simulate that outcome. The main line of investigation then focused on Sofía, Aixa's former partner.[S1]
The case includes a documented history of gender violence. According to information in the file, Aixa had reported Sofía for minor injuries and coercive threats. He had been detained and regained his freedom on July 16, 2026, just over two months before the killing. The young woman had also publicly stated that she held a 300-meter restraining order against her ex-partner. On December 4, 2025, one day after filing the complaint, she posted on social media that the report was made and she was protected, writing a phrase that regained relevance after the crime: "Today I tell it, tomorrow I don't know."[S1]
Aixa's father also said his daughter had a panic button and professional assistance following the complaint. He stated that Aixa did everything possible, describing the protective measures she had received. After the killing, Sofía reportedly sent a message to a friend saying "I messed up" and later shared a video on social media. He remained a fugitive until he was found on Thursday a few blocks from the crime scene.[S1]
Ongoing investigation
With the suspect now detained, the investigation by the UFI for Gender and Sexual Abuse of Tigre, led by prosecutor Mariela Miozzo, must advance on the circumstances of the murder and determine Sofía's responsibility in Aixa's death.[S1]
