The four-year-old boy shot in the Plaza Constitución, when he was left in the middle of a fight between two men, was operated on by two teams from the Pedro de Elizalde General Children's Hospital this Friday night and continues with a reserved
prognosis
.
The bullet entered Thiago's back and caused a bruise in the first lumbar area.
In turn, it damaged his liver and stomach to lodge in the gastric cavity.
According to the medical report, thanks to the surgical intervention, the problems that the baby had in the liver and stomach were solved, but "her condition continues to be reserved pending the
clinical
evolution after the interventions carried out."
The boy was passing with his grandmother Fabiana (45) when the shots hit his body.
He ended up falling in a pool of blood, according to witnesses who confirmed
the noise of ten detonations
.
A bus driver took the boy to Elizalde, the pediatric hospital near the Constitución station, where
he was admitted to intensive care
.

While the other who was shooting, a Dominican national, was arrested in Salta and Pavón by members of the City Police Neighborhood Police Station 1C, who were alerted that there was a gunshot wound.

a record
for serious injuries, cover-up and for driving a car without papers.

a territorial conflict over drugs
.
The insecurity in this Buenos Aires neighborhood
does not stop despite the police presence
.
Due to the robberies with knives and firearms, the residents of Constitución stopped using handbags and replaced them with bags to run errands.
The neighborhood reference Graciela Bliesenick explained in a dialogue with
Clarín
that they even "snatch the bags before buying. They rob you walking, they run away and are impossible to reach. They take what they can."
In early January, Bliesenick experienced a
dramatic moment
when they attempted to rob her and threatened to kill her.
"The guy put a knife to my neck and on top of that he's from the neighborhood. I know who he is," she recalls.
