Buenos Aires, November 22 (NA) -- Fabián Correa, father of Thiago, the 7-year-old boy who was killed during a shootout while waiting for the bus in the La Matanza district of Buenos Aires province, recounted that he visited León García, the four-year-old boy who received his son's heart, and stated that it was “a very emotional, very difficult moment.” Fabián Correa with León.

In an interview with the Argentine News Agency (NA), the victim's father explained that they are awaiting “the trial at the end of the year or early January” and added that “the policeman's lawyers want to reconstruct the case.” In parallel, Correa detailed: “Today I went to visit León at the Italian Hospital, he is the four-year-old boy who received Tiaguito's heart.” At the same time, Correa described the situation as “a very difficult and emotional moment.” Regarding the investigation of the case, he considered that “luckily everything is going well” and added about the officer's defense: “Their lawyers said that the bullet that hit Thiago is not from the policeman's gun, but it could be any, because it is seen on the video - captured by security cameras.” “These are things they invent to get away with it, but lies will sink them deeper and deeper, so I am calm,” concluded the father of the boy who was shot on June 4 of last year, when Facundo Aguilar Fajardo had a shootout with thieves who tried to rob him while he was with his family.

In the same instance, an analysis of the clothing seized at the scene “determined that the injuries corresponded to the entry and exit orifices of a projectile's path, with the exception of one that could not be verified,” according to the victim's family lawyer, Carla Ocampo. Ocampo stated that the study shows that one of the thieves received “a significant number of shots in the back,” which is why “there was no significant risk” for the 21-year-old officer to continue the shootout. Aguilar Fajardo is free until the trial, for the crime of “culpable homicide” after the case file was reviewed by La Matanza Guarantees Judge Roberto Ochipinti.
