SANTIAGO.- Due to a gunshot wound taken to the head during a confrontation in the municipality of San Joaquín, a young man identified as 21 year old Carlos Cifuentes is currently listed as brain dead at the Barros Luco Hospital. The alleged motive for the shooting was an unpaid debt.


The incident reportedly occurred when the victim met with the other young men in the La Legua neighbourhood and a shootout began, resulting in Cifiuentes being shot in the head, while another man involved was shot in the thigh.


Cifuentes was immediately taken to the Barros Luco Hospital, where he has been listed as brain dead.


Among the suspects in the case is Misael González (18), who was detained in the medical facility while receiving treatment for the wound to his leg, as well as a 13 year old boy with the initials S.G.C., who reportedly already has a homicide on his record.


The minor was arrested at the scene of the incident and was found to have two fire arms in his possession.


After the arrest, the adolescent boy was taken to the "El Arrayán" Orientation and Diagnosis Center for minors, located in the same municipality.
