Overview

• Prosecutors say three suspects are in custody—two adolescents, 16 and 17, and Alex Muñoz, 19—with the case handled in the juvenile jurisdiction of La Matanza.
• The 17-year-old told juvenile prosecutor Pablo Insúa that he fired the gun and claimed the shot went off accidentally during the attempted car theft in Villa Luzuriaga.
• Investigators mapped the escape using CCTV and payments made with virtual wallets at a nearby supermarket and a remís agency, which helped confirm identities and addresses.
• Police earlier seized a Bersa .380 pistol, ammunition and clothing during a raid that led to Muñoz’s arrest, according to investigative reports.
• The two minors were surrendered by their mothers after police set up a family containment effort, as national and provincial security officials traded barbs over youth crime policy.
