A juvenile boy who posted photos of himself posing with guns and motorcycles on the Internet was shot and killed during a high-speed chase with police.
A 12-year-old would-be gangster was found dead in the back of a car after a police chase in Tres de Febrero, a suburb of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Uriel Alejandro Giménez, known by the nickname Chispita, was in the back of the vehicle with two other passengers when the high-speed chase began.
Police said they were trying to identify the occupants of the hatchback in the early hours of the morning when the suspects took off and were being followed.
The driver sped off and opened fire on the officers, who gave chase and returned fire.
A few blocks later, at least two armed adults exited the Fiat Uno Van Fire and fled on foot, police said.

Inside the vehicle, officers found Uriel’s body along with spent shell casings.
Paramedics confirmed he died of gunshot wounds, including a gunshot wound to the chest.
The case was classified as “homicide aggravated by the use of a firearm”, with one officer formally charged.
Authorities are still searching for the men who ran after the shooting.
Uriel regularly posed with guns and motorbikes on social media.
In one picture, he was wearing a T-shirt with a boy who died in an attempted robbery in Remedios de Escalada in October 2025.
Forensic sources confirmed that Uriel had a previous record as he was booked into a local police station in October 2025 for covering up a crime.
He was laid to rest on Tres de Febrero.
His sister Kiara paid tribute online: “Only you and I know what we went through together. I hope you find peace my dear brother.”
“I love you with all my heart.
“My dear brother, you left me broken. Rest in peace.”
