Overview
- Colleagues found the uniformed subofficer dead inside a guard post at Morón Air Base on Wednesday, and early reports say he had a gunshot wound to the head and a service weapon was at the scene.
- The Fuerza Aérea Argentina said it immediately activated internal protocols, expressed sorrow, and placed all resources at the disposal of judicial authorities.
- The case was assigned to the División Unidad Operativa Federal (DUOF) Morón of the Policía Federal and the Federal Court in Morón ordered an autopsy and forensic examinations.
- Investigators' working hypothesis reported by some outlets is that there was no third-party involvement, but that has not been judicially confirmed and forensic results are pending.
- Some media have named the servicemember as Martín Javier Leguiza and offered personal background, while outlets disagree on his age; the limited and anonymous sourcing has left identity and motive unresolved and fuels concern about military mental‑health support.
