The incident occurred in Tres de Febrero, where officers attempted to stop a hatchback carrying suspects who then fled and exchanged gunfire with the police.

During the pursuit, two armed adults abandoned the vehicle and escaped on foot, leaving behind the lifeless body of the young boy, identified as Uriel Alejandro Giménez, inside the car.
