Overview
- In La Plata, 68-year-old neighbor Juan Carlos Magen was detained after the killing of Daniel Néstor Rubén Ramírez during a fireworks dispute, and Prosecutor Patricio Barraza (UFI 6) charged him as autopsy findings cited wounds to the shoulder and neck and police seized a Bersa .40 and a shotgun.
- In Villa Lugano, a man died during a police operation, and Juzgado Nacional N° 20 ordered a judicial inquiry with Federal Police, requested officers’ devices and crowd-control gear, and awaits autopsy findings as an internal review proceeds.
- In Quilmes, an off-duty City police officer shot dead two suspected motochorros during an alleged robbery attempt, and fiscal Javier Becerra is treating the case as self‑defense at this stage.
- Separate shootings left Kevin Leonel Duarte, 23, dead in Santa Fe in a suspected sicario-style attack and Brian Fuentes, 19, killed by a shotgun blast in Orán, with .22 casings recovered, a suspect identified, and searches underway.
- In Peru, security cameras captured a double homicide during a Christmas gathering in La Victoria and a separate shooting in Pisco wounded three people, with Depincri and local police collecting evidence and pursuing the attackers.
