Father Kills 4-Year-Old Son, Then Himself, in Huanguelén After Warning Call

Investigators focus on a revenge note alongside lapsed protective orders.

Overview

  • Police located a parked Mercedes Benz truck on Route 60 near the town access and found the father dead and the child gravely wounded.
  • The boy was rushed to the local hospital and died hours later, according to officials.
  • Autopsies confirmed gunshot wounds to the head, and forensic teams recovered bloodstains and a .22-caliber pistol from the vehicle.
  • Before the shooting, the father phoned his ex-partner, a local police sergeant, disclosed his intent, and gave his location, prompting a rapid response.
  • Prosecutors at UFI No. 5 in Bahía Blanca are leading the case as they review prior family-violence records and protective measures that expired on December 4, with a handwritten letter published that details a revenge motive.
