The father of the young Kim, murdered during a vehicle robbery, made brief public statements before an audience of supportive neighbors, without going into details about the meeting he had with one of those involved. "I told the 17-year-old boy things, and now I feel better," he expressed. Meanwhile, the victim's mother, visibly affected, mentioned that this episode was not the first of its kind but hoped it would be the last.

"Kim is not the first, but I want her to be the last," shared Florencia, while recalling with anguish the moment she saw her daughter being thrown and dragged for 15 blocks by the criminals. Despite the pain, she showed strength when facing one of the murderers face to face, without uttering a word. Kim's parents agreed on the importance of the responsible parties facing the consequences of their actions and advocated for significant changes to prevent similar events from happening in the future.

The court ruled preventive imprisonment for 180 days for the 17-year-old suspect believed to have participated in the crime, while the 14-year-old minor acknowledged his presence at the scene but denied any direct involvement. The presiding judge decided to keep the second accused under security measures until a new hearing is held.

The victim's parents continued to demand justice in a march held on Friday, where they reiterated their desire for the detained individuals to pay for what happened. During one of the hearings, they had the opportunity to meet face to face with the 17-year-old boy, generating a meeting full of contained emotions and requests for clarification of the events.
