Little by little, images are beginning to emerge of the fierce shootout in a vacant lot in González Catán that left at least five dead and four wounded. In a video that went viral on social media, you can see the argument prior to the shooting and the moment in which the bloody attack began.
In the images, a group of people, including men and women of different ages, can be seen in a field surrounded by trees. In the video, a loud argument full of insults can be heard.
"I'm going to do shit to you, you piece of shit," are some of the threats. At one point, a woman shouts a tidbit that reveals the conflict did not start on Sunday. "Yesterday (Saturday) we were shot and killed," he says.
At one point, men are seen retreating from the scene and a flurry of gunfire begins. The sound of gunfire intermingles with the screams of people. "There are guys, my daughter, my God," is a woman's desperate cry.
Towards the end of the video, which lasts about 60 seconds, several parked cars and men, one with a stick, are seen walking in the direction of the people who were shooting.
Sources in the investigation said that yesterday, after 15 p.m., at least four people began shooting at the group of people gathered at the event, most of whom belonged to the Bolivian community.
For this reason, until this morning, seven people who were shot in that event remained hospitalized in a reserved state in the aforementioned health center and the Favaloro, Simply Evita and Paroissien hospitals.
In addition, one of those injured during the confrontation has already beendischarged after being shot in one of his legs.

At least three armed men allegedly shot at a group of Bolivian citizens.
Judicial and police spokesmen confirmed that those killed in the shooting were identified as Tomás Waldo Velázquez Chávez (28), Eduardo Rivera (23), Gregorio Mamani, Leonel Enzo Tuco Tapia (29) and Luis Fernando Bascope (16).
As for the reasons for the incident, the investigators pointed out that it all happened because of a conflict over the seizure of some land in the neighborhood, which was administered by three men called "delegates."
In this context, a group of neighbors began to claim that they had been economically harmed during the purchase of the land, so they began to intimidate them.
