Who was Federico Venco, the motorcyclist hit and killed for rescuing a stranger on the street

A 36-year-old motorcyclist named Federico Venco was killed after stopping to help a woman in distress on the roadside. The woman's former partner mistakenly believed Venco was her new boyfriend and intentionally ran him over with his car. Venco was known in his community for his kindness, volunteer work, and passion for mountain life. He had previously worked in various jobs, including at McDonald's and as a gardener, but dreamed of buying a cabin and turning it into a refuge. His mother described him as a happy and well-loved person who always wanted to help others. Investigators reconstructed the incident, noting that Venco stopped to assist the woman, who had lost her phone and was waiting for her ex-partner. The 44-year-old man who killed Venco was arrested afterward.
