Following an investigation by the PDI, a suspect surrendered to Carabineros, and the Homicide Brigade of Los Ángeles is investigating the circumstances. In Argentina, multiple incidents have been reported. In Capitán Bermúdez, a 27-year-old man was shot to death inside a residence, prompting an autopsy and ballistic investigation. In Rosario, 37-year-old Ramón Eduardo Gauna was killed by two 9mm caliber gunshots in the Industrial neighborhood. His partner reported hearing the shots coincide with the sound of a passing train. Additionally, in Río Grande, Nélson Dalmiro Morales was detained for the attempted homicide of his wife following a domestic dispute. The woman was treated for a head injury and has since been discharged from the hospital. Other reported incidents in Argentina include the death of a 17-year-old in El Tacuruzal, reportedly killed by his 16-year-old cousin following a dispute. In Rosario, a 38-year-old man was found shot to death in his home, and a 26-year-old man was hospitalized after being shot in the street. In Moreno, a shooting targeting a suspected drug trafficker resulted in the death of a 10-month-old baby and injuries to a 10-year-old girl and her mother. Authorities believe the attack, involving two men and one woman, was an “alleged drug-related settlement” targeting a neighbor with a criminal record. Further reports from Argentina include the investigation into the death of a 37-day-old infant in Choele Choel, and the discovery of a mother and her 6-year-old son dead in the Cosquín River, with preliminary findings suggesting asphyxiation by immersion.
