String of Public Attacks in Peru, Mexico and Argentina Triggers Forensic-Led Probes

Forensic evidence with surveillance video now drives the probes across jurisdictions.

Overview

  • Prosecutors in Lima opened a preliminary attempted-homicide case over the Agua Marina shooting, documenting about 25 shots fired from outside the venue as injured band members reported stable condition and CCTV collection continued.
  • Police detained a man carrying a revolver near Mayor Rafael López Aliaga during a public ceremony in Villa María del Triunfo, halting the event and sending the weapon for criminalistics tests.
  • In Mexico City, a motorist was slain in Iztacalco; officers used video monitoring to track suspects, detained three people in Cuauhtémoc, and seized bags of marijuana, helmets, a phone, and cash, with one detainee possibly linked to the homicide.
  • In Tijuana, FGE agent Humberto Martínez Corrales was shot dead outside his home by assailants who arrived in at least three vehicles, prompting a homicide investigation and scene security by multiple agencies.
  • In Argentina’s Florencio Varela triple-narco-homicide case, prosecutors said city cameras helped identify vehicles and suspects, issued red alerts for three fugitives, and highlighted that one suspect had benefited from prior releases.
