Fernando Caceres, remains on life support, six more arrested in connection with shooting

Police in Buenos Aires raided several slums in the investigation regarding the shooting of the former footballer. At least six people were arrested during a police search carried out on Friday in slums around Buenos Aires as part of investigations on shooting of the former player Fernando Caceres which happened last Sunday.

Police said they have detained two suspects that they were seeking, one of them is 18 and has a criminal record and that the other suspect is also an adult, but they gave no details about it. The police added that other people were arrested for possession of weapons and are investigating whether they are part of this gang of criminals.

Police sources said around 500 officers took part in the searches carried out today on the west side of Greater Buenos Ayres, but Caceres remains in a critical condition and mechanically ventilated.

Ruben Garcia, director of the health centre, said that the patient, who lost his right eye and has the bullet lodged in his head, had developed a fever last night, and that medical staff have administered antibiotics.
