Necochea Teen Killing: 17-Year-Old Held as Clear Video and Forensics Drive Juvenile Probe

A Nov. 5 juvenile-court hearing will decide preventive detention in a case built on clear video evidence.

Overview

  • Bautista Coronel, 15, died after being stabbed in the groin area during a filmed street fight outside the Casino de Necochea.
  • The 17-year-old suspect remains detained at the Batán juvenile facility ahead of a Wednesday, Nov. 5 hearing before the Juzgado de Garantías del Joven at 10:00.
  • Prosecutor Verónica Posse says the suspect referenced a preexisting conflict, and seized phones are being analyzed to verify prior communications.
  • Investigators report the fight began bare-handed before one teen grabbed a bicycle seat and the other a sharp implement, with tests pending to confirm whether it was a knife or an improvised metal spike.
