Murder victim. He was born in Buenos Aires on March 2, 2001, the only son of Silvino Báez, a doorkeeper, and Graciela Sosa, a hospice worker, both Paraguayan immigrants from Carapeguá. At the time of his death, he was a law student in the Buenos Aires University. Báez Sosa arrived at Villa Gesell, a popular summer destination in the Buenos Aires Atlantic coast, on January 16, 2020, where he intended to stay a few days in Villa Gesell with a group of high school friends and his girlfriend. At approximately 1:30 a.m. on January 18, Fernando and his friends arrived at Le Brique nightclub, on Avenida 3 and Calle 102. By 4:30 a.m. the venue was overcrowded, leading one of Fernando's friends to unwillingly bump against one of his murderers, leading to a verbal discussion between the two groups of rugby players and Fernando's friends. At 4:44 a.m., two of the rugbiers (Enzo Comelli and Ciro Pertossi) attacked Fernando and his friends. They targeted Fernando, punching and kicking him until he was left unconscious; he suffered blunt trauma to his head. It is believed that eight out of the ten rugbiers took part in the beating. The crime drew widespread outrage and condemnation across diverse sectors of Argentine society. Argentine media dedicated a considerable amount of attention to the case throughout January and February 2020. Paraguayan media also made echo of the case, given Báez Sosa's background of Paraguayan descendance. The extensive footage of the fight at the club, both groups of youths being escorted out of the club by security, and the subsequent beating made readily available on social media helped the case gain notoriety as well. Several public demonstrations have been held to demand justice for Báez Sosa's murder. On 18 February 2020, a month after the murder, Báez Sosa's parents called for a nationwide demonstration with its epicenter at the Congressional Palace in Buenos Aires. Annual demonstrations on the anniversary of the murder have taken place across the country in 2021 and 2022, especially in Villa Gesell. The infamous, so-called 'rugbiers' are waiting for sentence on the Dolores penalty facility.
