Teenager Killed in Casino Fight in Necochea

A tragic incident occurred on Friday night in the parking lot of a casino in Necochea. During a fight, 17-year-old Bautista Coronel was fatally stabbed. His peer, who attacked him, was detained after a judge reviewed a crucial video recording the brutal assault. The incident took place on the Avenue 2 parking lot. Authorities are investigating whether other individuals were involved in the tragic event. Bautista was urgently taken to the Emilio Ferreyra Municipal Hospital, but he died the next day due to the severity of his wound, which caused hypovolemic shock. The minor attacker was placed under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Criminal Responsibility Court, accused of 'qualified homicide by the use of a bladed weapon'. Footage, which is circulating on WhatsApp and has been handed over to the Minor's Prosecutor's Office, shows the two teenagers in a scuffle, surrounded by a group of young people who were egging on the aggressor and filming the scene. Amidst the brawl, the attacker pulled out a knife and stabbed Bautista in the groin. One of the most chilling details of the video is that after the weapon fell, a witness picked it up and handed it back to the aggressor. Police, alerted by a 911 call, found the victim unconscious.
