An incident that took place in the early months of 2021 in Rosario, Argentina, left a suspect dead after he attempted to rob an off duty cop.
As indicated by the footage, the two motorcyclist's approached a man, who unbeknown to them was an armed off duty police officer. As one suspect exited the motorcycle armed with a handgun, he immediately began demanding the police officer to give him his backpack, cell phone and wallet. Complying, the off duty cop handed over the goods to the suspect.
Thinking he was in the clear, the suspect ran back to the motorcycle. Before making their hasty getaway, the off duty cop drew a handgun and began unloading on the suspects. Both suspects now wounded, attempted to flee the area, one on the motorcycle and the other on foot. As shown in the surveillance footage, the motorcyclist only made it a few meters before crashing the bike into a wall. Later media reports stated that man was later pronounced deceased from an abdomen wound.
As for the second suspect, he reportedly ran into a rubber shop where a store clerk began treating him for his wounds. In a later statement, the store clerk told police the man said he was a victim of a shooting. Being a good Samaritan, the store clerk provided the suspect with water and began transporting him to an area hospital. According to the store clerk, before reaching the hospital he started to become suspicious of the events that just unfolded. As a result, the suspect detected his suspicions, exited the vehicle and fled the area on foot.
Police later stated that the off duty police officer surrendered his firearm to be later booked as evidence. The man was uncharged as police determined he acted in self defense. It is unknown at this time whether law enforcement captured the second suspect. If you have any additional information you'd like to provide, leave it in the comments below.
