Overview
- In Pinamar’s La Frontera, an 8-year-old boy remains in intensive care after emergency surgery and a subsequent reoperation for severe liver injuries from a UTV–Volkswagen Amarok collision, with a passerby physician performing CPR at the scene.
- Judicial authorities preserved the vehicles, ordered forensic tests and opened a case labeled “lesiones culposas,” while officials noted the crash occurred on private property outside the designated safe corridor.
- In Tucumán, prosecutors identified Javier Ariel Sarmiento, 50, as the man found with head wounds and a right hand amputated near Aguilares; ECIF teams conduct searches and an autopsy as the homicide investigation advances.
- In Buenos Aires province, retired police officer Carlos Demetrio Leiva died a week after being shot in an attempted robbery in Caseros, and two detainees now face upgraded charges of homicide aggravated by the use of a firearm.
- Santa Fe Governor Maximiliano Pullaro said police stations will stay overcrowded until new prisons open later this year, while separate probes saw two arrests over the assault of 90-year-old Juan Carlos Zaragoza, the release of four initially detained in the Mauro Gómez case with the victim’s brother later charged in a separate robbery, and Tucumán authorities analyzing footage after a young woman was found bound and seriously injured.
