Two security cameras recorded the moment in which one of the two motorcycle jets that clashed with an agent of the Federal Police (PFA) in Quilmes leaves his accomplice in the street, who had been shot by the agent and died shortly after.
In the videos you can see how the assailant stays next to his injured accomplice for a few seconds and tries to move him.
When he saw that he did not react, the motorcycle driver left him lying in the middle of the street, but not before
taking the weapon
with which they had confronted the policeman.
The two thieves had tried to assault
Andrés Lagos
, 26, who was on his way to a therapy session with his psychologist in the Buenos Aires party of Quilmes.
An agent of the Argentine Federal Police (PFA) killed one of the two motorcycle jets that assaulted him when in Quilmes with a bullet in the chest.
The incident took place around 5 p.m., at the corner of Irala and Necochea streets, where the officer was passing aboard his private vehicle and dressed in civilian clothes, since he was on duty.
According to official sources, the policeman parked his car and it was then that he was approached by two criminals who arrived on a red motorcycle and
threatened him with firearms
.
Faced with this situation, the policeman identified himself and one of the assailants shot him.
The PFA agent
responded to the attack with his service weapon
and began a confrontation that ended with the criminal who was traveling as a companion with a bullet in the chest.
As a result of the shooting, he
fell dead 300 meters from the place
, on Amoedo and Necochea avenues, while the thief who was driving the motorcycle picked up the weapon that had been left next to the body and escaped.
According to investigators, the deceased is a 25-year-old young man who lived in Quilmes.
Meanwhile, the cash, which serves in the Miter Division of the PFA, was unharmed.
In turn, the investigators determined by a 911 call that moments before committing this attempted robbery, the same young people had assaulted the former partner of an officer of the Quilmes Local Police, about ten blocks away, in Irala and Lisandro of the tower.
In the case, the personnel of the Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) 4 quilmeña intervenes, in charge of the prosecutor
Karina Gallo
, who for the moment ordered that the PFA agent remains
at liberty
.
This incident occurred one day after a deputy commissioner of the same force killed two of the criminals who assaulted him with a replica of a firearm in the town of Wilde, although in that case, the agent was detained while investigating whether he exceeded his legitimate defense.
Tragic family history
The officer who killed the motochorro is the brother of agent
Esteban Nicolás Lagos (28)
, killed by two robbers last October.
The incident occurred aboard inmate 4845 of line 100, branch 1, which ran through Vieytes, between Quinquela Martín and Suárez, when two thieves came up armed and with robbery intentions.
In this group, Lagos returned home after work.
When he saw the robbers, he identified himself as a policeman and they started shooting at him.
He was shot in the arm, leg and chest, despite wearing his bulletproof vest.
The officer was transferred in serious condition to the Churruca police hospital, but died.
