We report on the recent NIR flare of the intermediate redshift QSO (z=0.54) BZQJ0713+1935, cross correlated with the Gamma-ray source 2FGLJ0714.0+1933. On April 30th,2019 MJD(2458603.7029), we found the source with NIR fluxes corresponding to H = 15.092 +/- 0.05. While, on MJD 2458540.843, the flux in the H band corresponded to H = 16.357 +/- 0.04. Hence, the source has tripled its flux in this short lapse. This source has shown flaring activity in the past see Atel#10184. Our observations are carried out with the 2.1m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory operated by the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (Mexico), equipped with the instrument CANICA a NIR camera. We encourage further multi wavelength coverage.
