This is the second case of the murder of a teenager by a law enforcement officer in Argentina in the past month. So, on November 18, the police shot and killed 17-year-old player of the football club “Barracas Central” Lucas Gonzalez.
The incident took place on November 17 in the Barracas area. The police opened fire on the car in which the football player was driving along with his friends. The police report said that the car rammed a patrol car when they tried to stop it at an intersection.
At least two bullets were fired into Gonzalez, one of which hit the head. The young footballer died in the hospital the next day.
At the same time, according to relatives, Gonzalez and his friends increased their speed, because they thought that unknown people wanted to attack them, because the police were in civilian clothes.
