Guaymallén Killing: Adult Suspect Surrenders After 15-Year-Old Confession

Prosecutors are weighing charges pending a final autopsy, with motives under review.

Overview

  • Tomás Jeremías Gómez, 22, turned himself in at Guaymallén’s Comisaría 9 with a private lawyer and remains in custody of the Homicide Fiscalía.
  • A 15-year-old admitted being at the apartment, identified Gómez, and was placed under ETI care because he is legally not prosecutable.
  • Security cameras captured two people leaving the building, one on a motorcycle and another riding the victim’s bicycle, which investigators say was stolen.
  • Preliminary forensics are disputed, with an MPF brief citing strangulation and another report saying the cause is still undetermined though asphyxia is suspected.
  • Police found Franco Aracena bound and gagged with facial injuries, and prosecutors are evaluating a possible homicidio criminis causa linked to the bike theft.
