Overview
- Maria Vilma das Dores Cascalho da Silva Bosco, 69, fell and suffered a fatal brain hemorrhage after being struck without warning near Corrientes and Agüero around midday on November 6.
- She was rushed by SAME to a hospital but died hours later; neurosurgeons told the family a massive cranial bleed, worsened by anticoagulants, made surgery unviable.
- Police detained a man in his 30s hours after the attack at Córdoba and Junín; he remains at Hospital Borda under guard and has roughly 20 prior arrests and multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, including reported escapes.
- The case was initially labeled attempted homicide, and a city prosecutor later recast it as aggravated homicide on gender grounds, with a forensic psychiatric evaluation pending to determine the accused’s criminal responsibility.
- The victim’s daughter is urging a swift autopsy and body release to enable repatriation, and Brazil’s foreign ministry says its consulate in Buenos Aires is monitoring the process after a family fundraising drive.
