Overview

• Police in Entre Ríos located 5‑year‑old Pedro Rodríguez Laurta alive at a Gualeguaychú hotel and detained his father, Pablo Laurta.
• Investigators identify Laurta as the main suspect in the shootings of Luna Giardina and her mother, Mariel Zamudio, inside their Córdoba home on Saturday.
• Authorities activated Argentina’s Alerta Sofía and issued Interpol notices, deploying border controls on routes toward Uruguay during the cross‑provincial manhunt.
• Forensic teams reported close‑range gunshot wounds and recovered 9 mm casings at the scene, and the child was placed under protective care after the rescue.
• The case is led by prosecutor Gerardo Reyes’s gender‑violence unit, with prior abuse complaints and the suspect’s antifeminist online activity informing inquiries as formal charges and transfer to Córdoba advance.
