Manhunt in Valencia and Parallel Probes in Argentina Follow Spate of Violent Incidents

Authorities are scrutinizing security lapses and procedures across separate cases that range from a street shooting to a custodial escape and a death after a robbery.

Overview

  • Guardia Civil maintains the search for the alleged shooter who wounded a 33-year-old man with three shots in Alfafar, with the victim in critical condition at La Fe and a companion already surrendered in Patraix.
  • More than 15 hours of police deployment in Alfafar ended with a court‑approved entry into an occupied flat, where officers did not find the firearm as the mayor criticized the warrant delay.
  • In Rosario, two of four detainees who escaped Seccional 21ª were quickly recaptured, while fugitives Francisco Torrén and Ignacio Elías Ruiz remain at large from a facility operating at full capacity.
  • In La Plata, prosecutors opened parallel investigations into possible homicide in occasion of robbery and potential medical negligence after Fredy Emanuel Soria died two days after a motochorro assault, with an autopsy pending and at least one detention reported.
  • In Caleta Olivia, a detainee accused of abusing his 7-year-old stepdaughter was beaten in a cell after a lock was allegedly forced, prompting a judicial inquiry, and in Ranelagh teens helped detain a motochorro later identified as an ex–City Police officer.
