Overview
- Judge Facundo Gómez Urso confirmed the citizens' jury verdict and sentenced Maximiliano González to life in prison for homicide aggravated by firearm use, his status as a police officer, and alevosía.
- The shooting occurred on December 10, 2021 during a police interception in Miramar, where 16-year-old Luciano Olivera was hit in the chest and died.
- González claimed the gun fired accidentally, but official forensic analysis and trial evidence contradicted that version.
- Prosecutor Fernando Berlingeri led the case, and the victim’s family, represented by attorney Gregorio Dalbón, had requested a life sentence and praised the decision.
- Four other officers—Nelson Albornoz, Kevin Gerricagoitía, Rocío Mastrángelo and Alejandro Cepeda—are charged with cover-up and will face separate trials in correctional courts with dates yet to be set.
