In Buenos Aires, an officer from Neighborhood Police Station 8A has been placed on availability as part of the investigation into the death of 45‑year‑old Gabriel González, who was killed in the Villa 20 settlement during the Christmas holidays. According to the Agencia Noticias Argentinas, the decision was made “to facilitate the Court’s intervention in investigating the events that occurred.” The Transparency and External Control Office of the Ministry of Security and Internal Affairs of the City Police is responsible for the summary to determine alleged responsibilities. A woman called 911 to report that drunk people were throwing objects at her house, while authorities received two more alerts about a confrontation between two groups on Chilavert and Araujo streets. Personnel from the Tactical Peace Unit arrived on the scene and demanded a cessation of the incidents, but the uniformed officers were attacked by the protagonists, who threw stones and bottles. Three police officers were injured, prompting the presence of forces from Police Station 8A. The National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 20 began actions with the Federal Police, while the security forces delivered cameras, cell phones, and crowd control equipment to the judiciary to clarify the case.
