Argentina: Police arrest suspect in killing of 12-year-old
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Police in Argentina have detained a man on suspicion of killing a 12-year-old boy and neighbors wrecked his house amid anger over escalating drug-related violence in the city of Rosario. The unrest in Argentina’s third-largest city has come after a threat was directed at soccer superstar Lionel Messi last week. Twelve-year-old Máximo Jerez was killed early Sunday morning when at least one gunmen attacked a birthday party. Three other children were injured. The drug violence that has engulfed Rosario received international when gunmen threatened Messi in a written message left after they fired on a supermarket owned by his in-laws. Nobody was injured in the early morning attack.
