Overview
- Police reported up to seven arrests after coordinated searches in San Isidro and penitentiary units, with tally updates evolving from earlier counts of five to six detainees.
- Prosecutors say seized phones contain planning messages and self‑incriminating chats, including admissions about the victim’s death attributed to members of the group.
- Authorities linked the case to the gang known for violent home invasions against older residents, and named Hugo “Castillito” Castillo as an alleged organizer who is already in custody.
- Autopsy reporting describes multiple blows during the assault, with some accounts citing a subsequent collapse as the proximate cause of death under judicial review.
- In a separate case, Buenos Aires police captured a 20‑year‑old fugitive over the February killing of nurse Jonatan Calderón after he tried to flee and struck an officer, while in Chubut the search for two missing retirees continues under a deceased‑persons hypothesis.
