Lawyers Seek Formal Processing of Gendarme Héctor Guerrero for the Shooting of Pablo Grillo

Citing ballistics findings with training records, the victim’s lawyers argue the shot was an illegal horizontal discharge.

Overview

  • Grillo’s legal team asked the court to order the procesamiento of Guerrero on attempted homicide aggravated by abuse of functions, abuse of authority, dereliction of duty, and use of a firearm in the attempted degree.
  • Página/12 reports the statutory 10‑day window for Judge María Servini to decide expires on Wednesday, with prior procedural acts handled by Judge Ariel Lijo.
  • Héctor Guerrero acknowledged firing the launcher in his statement to the court but insisted he had no intent to harm.
  • Filings cite conclusions from the Policía de la Ciudad’s ballistics unit and Guerrero’s training records to contend the launcher was fired horizontally in breach of protocol, with one report describing a 1.5° trajectory at roughly 78 m/s.
  • The family says Pablo Grillo remains at Hospital Rocca with slow neurological recovery and speech difficulties, renewing calls for the shooter to be penalized according to law.
