Criminal incidents in Río Cuarto, Argentina, have involved both a high-profile trial and a recent fatal shooting. A trial began for a woman named Juárez, accused of the homicide of her twelve-year-old son, Aarón Benjamín Alaniz, in the Alberdi neighborhood. The defense has raised questions regarding her mental health, specifically citing potential schizophrenia, though a mental health report identified her condition as dysthymia and suggested she understood the nature of her actions. The case is being overseen by a popular jury. In a separate incident in the Playa Bonita sector of Costanera Sur, 22-year-old Lautaro Figueroa was shot and killed during a fight. Video footage reportedly showed a suspect firing multiple shots at Figueroa while he was on the ground. Authorities have arrested three individuals in connection with the shooting, including the alleged shooter, Braian Bustos, and two others accused of involvement or cover-up. New details regarding the Figueroa homicide indicate the attack occurred during spring celebrations. Police operations led to the arrest of 20-year-old Braian Jesús Leonel, identified as the alleged shooter, 27-year-old Jonathan Catastro, accused of concealment, and a 22-year-old woman. Authorities noted that the male suspects have prior criminal records. The Second Shift Prosecutor's Office of Río Cuarto is leading the investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the fight and the responsibilities of those involved.
