Overview
- Police and the Naval Prefecture secured a small boat after a 911 alert about a vessel adrift near Sauce Viejo’s La Arenera sector and confirmed two fatalities on board.
- A bovine carcass was found inside the boat with the bodies, a detail authorities say supports the working theory of an attempted livestock theft.
- Forensic teams reported multiple shotgun wounds, and lead cartridges indicate a close-range attack with significant firepower, possibly involving more than one shooter.
- The homicide prosecutor ordered transfer of the bodies to the judicial morgue, fingerprinting for identification, registration checks on the boat, and examination of the animal’s marks to identify its owner and locate the likely crime scene.
- The double killing was part of a violent day that recorded five homicides across Greater Santa Fe, according to local reports.
