Authorities in Argentina have reported progress in two distinct homicide investigations. 

In Neuquén, a man identified as C. A. C. has been charged with the murder of 21-year-old Nicolás Agustín Sáez. Prosecutors allege the suspect lured the victim, who had a diagnosis of autism, to a remote area in the Centenario Industrial Park, attacked him with a large stone, and attempted to conceal the body by setting it on fire.

In Mendoza, police arrested Cristian Alejandro Cabrera Ramírez, a 48-year-old with a criminal record, regarding the death of 7-year-old Leonel Santino Ortiz. The child was killed during a violent shooting in the Villa Junín settlement in Las Heras, where shots were fired from a red vehicle during a pursuit of several individuals.
