- The suspect, Juan Carlos Magen, 68, told prosecutor Patricio Barraza he fired two shots and said the gun went off when he slipped on the stairs.
- An autopsy found hypovolemic shock and intrathoracic hemorrhage from a thoracic gunshot, with experts concluding the shot was at close range.
- Magen remains in custody under charges of aggravated homicide with a firearm and qualified threats.
- Police seized multiple weapons from his home, including a Bersa Thunder .40 believed to have been used, another .40 pistol, and a 20‑gauge shotgun.
