The image, the sequence, is as impressive as it is forceful.
A key test for researchers.
A Federal police officer was returning home, dressed in civilian clothes, when he was surprised by two motorcycle jets.
One of the assailants threatened him with a weapon to steal his cell phone.
The agent shot and killed him.
The incident occurred this Friday night at the intersection of Juan Florio and Labardén, in Villa Luzuriaga, La Matanza district.
A neighbor's security camera allowed quick access to the sequence.
Two motorcycle jets surprise the 33-year-old policeman, who was walking
back home
in civilian clothes
.
He was on duty from his activity in the Internal Affairs Division of the PFA.
When one of the thieves gets off the motorcycle, he takes out a weapon (a .38 caliber revolver) and threatens the agent.
According to sources of the investigation consulted by Clarín, the attacker asks for his cell phone and the victim tells him to wait, to stay calm.
"I'll give it to you," he said.
The criminal gets even closer and at that moment the policeman, who seems to be giving him the phone, with his other hand pulls out his regulation .9mm Bersa Thunder weapon and begins to shoot.
There were three shots.
They all hit the thief's body: two on the chest and one on the side.
"The autopsy will surely be done on Monday. We do not have the criminal's data for now, nor did a family member come to recognize the body.
In the image it is clear that the policeman defended himself,"
said the same source.
Next to the body of the thief was the weapon with which he tried to assault the policeman.
The criminal's accomplice escaped on the motorcycle and until noon this Saturday there was no information about his identity.
The fact is investigated by the prosecutor Marcos Borghi, of the Functional Unit of Instruction (UFI) Homicide Thematic of the La Matanza Judicial Department, who at the moment did not take any temper about the officer.
