He was arrested after shooting at a house in the Campo de la Ribera neighborhood. Days earlier, he had set fire to a police officer's car
This Sunday afternoon, a 15-year-old minor was arrested in Campo de la Ribera neighborhood after shooting at a house along with two other youths. The armed teenager tried to take refuge in another house without authorization and was apprehended by police personnel patrolling the area. He was carrying a firearm and was once again placed at the disposal of the justice system, which had already released him days earlier.
The same teenager made headlines last week after throwing a Molotov cocktail at a police officer's car in Müller neighborhood. The incident occurred in front of the 32nd police station and was recorded by security cameras, according to reports from this same outlet. At that time, he was arrested along with two other teenagers of the same age and released hours later.
This minor has multiple entries to police stations for robberies, shootings, and violent assaults over at least the past two years. Victims include ride-hailing drivers, local residents, and even police officers. His first arrest occurred at age 13, which demonstrates a sustained criminal pattern with an increasing level of violence.
The teenager's repeated offenses once again open the debate on the juvenile criminal system in Córdoba province. Judicial sources state that he had already been warned by the system on several occasions without effective results. The case adds to a series of incidents that expose the lack of responses to serious crimes committed by minors.
