Overview
- In Los Hornos, La Plata, two motochorros knocked a 27‑year‑old cyclist to the ground, shot him in the leg and stole his bicycle in an attack captured on a home security camera.
- Police say the motorcycle used in the Los Hornos attack had been reported stolen hours earlier and investigators are reconstructing the suspects’ escape route using CCTV across the neighbourhood.
- A separate armed robbery in Los Hornos left a couple robbed of about 1.5 million pesos and their Renault Duster after assailants fired shots to intimidate them while they returned home.
- Prosecutors reported two arrests in Salta in the killing of Hernán Velarde after witness interviews and camera analysis, and in Cipolletti authorities have identified the suspected attacker who stabbed a delivery worker and are seeking his detention.
- Two other major probes remain open: a 3‑year‑old was killed in Villa La Angostura with the father hospitalized under custody pending forensic tests, and a Corrientes death during a storm was caratulated as “muerte por causa dudosa” with an autopsy ordered.
