On December 26, 2022, a 12‑year‑old girl named Angelina died in Villa Sarmiento after being struck by a stray bullet. Doctors confirmed her brain death shortly after the incident. The incident shocked the local community and triggered a thorough investigation.
It was determined that the bullet came from a 9‑mm handgun, the same type suspected in the murder of Enrique in Santa Fe three years earlier. A 1‑km radius around the impact point was defined as the area of interest.
Security footage is still being reviewed and forensic analyses are ongoing, but questions about the perpetrator remain. The difficulty of operating on the girl has made it hard to confirm the exact caliber.
