Overview
- A motorcycle carrying two teens crashed with a car at Quintana and Jacarandá on May 12, leaving 15-year-old Kevin Martínez gravely injured and a bystander recording a man assaulting him while medics treated him.
- Forensic exams and the autopsy doctor testified that Martínez died from multiple skull fractures compatible with the high-impact crash and not from the later beating.
- Fifty-year-old Leonardo Marzzellino was detained, questioned by the UFI N°9 prosecutor Daniela Bertoletti Tramuja, and formally imputated for attempted homicide; he told investigators he struck the boy after believing the teen had tried to rob him.
- Prosecutors plan to summon the police officers who were at the scene to give testimony and consider imputations for omission of duties because they did not stop the assault.
- Investigators also found the Honda XR150 had an active seizure order for alleged theft and Marzzellino carries a recent six-year, six-month sexual abuse conviction that remains on appeal, facts that will affect ongoing procedures and potential sentencing.
