Uhićen "navodni ubojica" koji je ubio maloljetnika u parku La Pegaso u Barceloni

The Catalan police force, Mossos d'Esquadra, are investigating the violent death of a 75-year-old woman found in a field near Soses, Lleida, following her disappearance after a walk with her dog. The incident occurred around 10:45 pm on Saturday, July 19, 2026, when officers were alerted to the woman’s absence. A search operation was launched, and she was discovered later in a nearby agricultural area with signs of violence. The case has been taken over by the Division of Criminal Investigation (DIC) within the Mossos d'Esquadra, and it remains under secrecy of operations. Authorities have not ruled out any hypothesis regarding the cause of death, though little public information has emerged due to the sensitive nature of the investigation. Earlier this week, the Mossos d'Esquadra made another arrest related to a separate shooting incident. On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, they detained a 21-year-old man suspected of being a “presumed hitman” involved in the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy in the Pegaso Park in Barcelona. This marks the second arrest in connection with the case, which took place during the night of July 2 to 3, 2026. The victim was found dead in the park located in the Sant Andreu district of the city. Police officials, including Interior Minister Núria Parlon, indicated that initial evidence suggested the killing resulted from a confrontation between groups. However, the exact circumstances remain unclear, and the case is still under investigation. The shooting in Barcelona is part of a broader pattern of firearm-related deaths in the region. According to available data, seven such incidents have occurred in the city and its surrounding areas so far this year. Five of these cases took place in Barcelona itself, while one each was recorded in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat and Badalona. The police have emphasized that the attack was not random and have not confirmed whether the victim belonged to a gang or had ties to organized groups. Instead, they described the scene as involving a group of individuals who approached the victim in the park. In addition to the Barcelona case, other recent developments highlight ongoing concerns about violent crime in Catalonia. In Murcia, authorities have arrested a suspect linked to a shooting incident in El Ejido, where a lawyer was shot with a gun. While the two cases, those in Barcelona and Murcia, are geographically distinct, they both underscore the increasing frequency of firearm-related crimes in Spain. The police have not yet released detailed accounts of either incident, citing the need to maintain operational security and protect potential witnesses. The Mossos d'Esquadra continue to investigate both cases independently, with the Barcelona shooting remaining under active scrutiny. The agency has stated that it will not provide further details until the investigation concludes. Meanwhile, local communities in affected areas have expressed concern over the rising incidence of violent crime. Some residents have called for increased police presence and stricter gun control measures, although no official policy changes have been announced. As the investigations progress, the focus remains on gathering evidence and identifying all parties involved. The Mossos d'Esquadra have not commented publicly on the possibility of links between the different cases, nor have they indicated whether the suspects in any of them are connected. The lack of transparency underscores the complexity of these matters and the sensitivity surrounding the handling of criminal cases in Catalonia. For now, the police continue their work, relying on forensic analysis and witness statements to piece together the events leading to the deaths.
