Overview
- Gustavo Suárez, 48, shot his four-year-old son, Francisco, inside a truck near the Ruta 60 access to Huanguelén and then took his own life.
- Autopsies confirmed both died of head wounds, and investigators seized a .22-caliber pistol with bloodstains from the Mercedes-Benz truck.
- Before the shootings, Suárez phoned his ex-partner, police sergeant Daiana García, to announce his plans, prompting a patrol response that found the pair in the vehicle.
- The child was found with signs of life and was rushed to the local hospital, where he died hours later, according to police and hospital reports.
- A handwritten letter and a WhatsApp status pointed to a revenge motive, while UFI No. 5 leads the case as records cite expired protective measures and, per TN, a denied restraining request with a court-ordered continuation of father–child contact.
