Shocking Video: How 78-Year-Old Fatally Shot 15-Years Who Tried To Rob Him
A 78-year-old retiree shot and k!lled a 15-
year-old boy who tried to rob him outside his home in Buenos Aires, Argentina, shocking video shows.
The viral surveillance video shows the moment the teenager and his accomplices pull up in a van next to the elderly man as he is preparing to exit his white Toyota Hilux near his home last Monday, Jan, 27, night, local outlet Page 12 reported.
The teenager quickly leaps out of the van before
it can even come to a full stop next to the white
car, with the boy seen aiming what appears to
be a handgun at the Toyota driver, according to
the clip.
As the teen tries to open the driver’s door, the
78-year-old man pulls out a .357 Magnum
pistol and fires at the boy, k!lling him, police
said.
The teenage suspect drops to the ground, with
the van rushing away as the elderly man fires
another shot at the boy on the ground, the
footage shows.
He then steps out of the car and fires two more
rounds at the van before turning back, according to the video.
Police said the man fired a total of five times at
his assailants, with the 15-year-old hit in the
skull and chest.
The teenager, who was described by a friend
online as a “great person,” was holding a fake
gun meant to resemble a gray .22-caliber mini
Bersa Thunder, Page 12 reported.
Investigators said they are still on the hunt for
the two other people who were in the van at the
time of the attempted robbery.
The Departmental Investigations Directorate is
treating the case as an aggravated robbery
conducted by suspected gang members, officials added.
Local prosecutor Diego Rulli, who is in charge of
the case, will not seek charges against the 78-
year-old man, who he said acted in clear self-
defense with a weapon that he is licensed to
carry and use.
The shooting sent shockwaves throughout
Buenos Aires as it was the second such case to
happen in January 2025. In the first, another
minor was shot and k!lled after attempting to
steal a motorcycle in the La Tablada
neighborhood.
