Overview
- The Rafaela appeals chamber revoked the 16-year-old's preventive detention on Thursday and ordered relocation to Santa Fe, a ban on entering San Cristóbal, no social media use, school re-enrollment, and mental health treatment.
- He remains charged as a secondary participant in the March 30 attack that killed 13-year-old Ian Cabrera and wounded classmates, and prosecutors say the investigation continues.
- In a separate case in Lanús, a 16-year-old was filmed firing twice at a classmate's home last weekend, once into the air and once at the facade, with no injuries reported.
- Police identified the Lanús suspect from the video, carried out an urgent search at his Villa Diamante home, seized the clothing seen on camera, did not find the gun, and opened a weapons-abuse case under prosecutor Natalia Milione.
- Both episodes show how cameras and social media now steer investigations while Argentina's juvenile system often limits jail before trial and uses restrictive and socio-educational measures instead.
