Overview
- Zoe Robledo died Friday night at the provincial Children’s Hospital after being shot in the head on Thursday while playing outside her home in San Cayetano, Tucumán.
- Police detained two suspects — a 19-year-old known as “Menor” and a 16-year-old called “Ratón” — while the alleged gunman “Chueco” and another accomplice remain fugitives.
- The Homicide Unit had initially charged the detainees with attempted double-aggravated homicide, and prosecutors will now reformulate the case in light of the fatality.
- A judge approved four months of preventive detention for the adult suspect and ordered provisional measures for the minor as the investigation proceeds.
- Residents set fire to the alleged perpetrators’ house after the death, and investigators are assessing possible drug-related and neighborhood-conflict motives, with some media accounts differing on the number of attackers and arrests.
