  • In Villa Luzuriaga, Rita Mabel Suárez, 47, was shot dead during an attempted car robbery in front of her 15-year-old son; police identified and arrested 19-year-old Alex Muñoz using CCTV and virtual-wallet data.
  • Two juvenile suspects, including 17-year-old Máximo José Leguizamón, remain at large and have been referred to the Fiscalía de Responsabilidad Penal Juvenil as investigators await ballistic and forensic results from the seized Bersa .380 pistol.

  • La Plata authorities reclassified the death of 83-year-old Manuel Coria as homicidio culposo and placed the ESUR garbage-truck driver under investigation after the victim’s family denied initial claims of suicide, with autopsy and vehicle-camera evidence pending.
  • Additional violent incidents include a fatal stabbing in Greater Buenos Aires and a machete attack in Santa Fe, highlighting a spike in street crimes that has fueled public outrage in districts like La Matanza.
