The story is shocking! It indicates the country is already sliding into a serious state of authoritarianism surely most people do NOT want to see again with the last dictatorship still well within national memory. The cops in San Miguel del Monte seem to believe Macri is well underway turning the country over to some very radical muscle flexing against the people.
Looks as if Macri has been sending out all the same signals as Bolsonaro, just doing it in a lower-key, more secretive way, and still getting the message out.
He'd have a hard time being more conspicuous than Bolsonaro, wouldn't he?
I just found an article which refers to the current survivor, here in a google translation:
This young woman is the only person who can tell what happened during the police persecution that caused the death of her four friends: Gonzalo Domínguez, Camila López, Danilo Sansone and Aníbal Suárez.
The doctors reported that the 13-year-old girl has a reserved prognosis.
Rocío Guagliarello, the 13-year-old girl who survived the tragedy of San Miguel del Monte, continues to fight. This was reflected in the medical report released this Friday by the authorities of the High Complexity Hospital El Cruce, in Florencio Varela, where it is hospitalized .
Rocío is seriously ill, housed in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. It continues "mechanically ventilated, with high ventilatory requirements due to acute respiratory distress in progress," it was reported. In addition, it presents "a picture compatible with sepsis" that is being fought with medicines.
The forecast is reserved.
. . .
The car in which the five young people were traveling, a Fiat 147, was pursued by two police from the Buenos Aires police force and hit a truck stopped at kilometer 111 of the 9 de Julio bus, which ends at Route 3 and was divided into two parts, which were separated 50 meters apart from each other.
The four minors were friends, they knew each other because they shared classes at the San Miguel del Monte Middle School and, according to what their relatives said, they used to get together in the area of the waterfront in their free time to " rapear y andar en skate." (translation doesn't work here)
(Looked up trying to find a translation for "rapear" into contemporary terms:
"a. rapear
Residente writes lyrics and raps for the group, and his brother produces the music.Residente escribe las letras y rapea en el grupo, y su hermano produce la música.
7. (colloquial) (to talk) (United States)
a. charlar
We stood there rapping for a few minutes while we waited for the train.Nos quedamos allí charlando unos minutos mientras esperábamos el tren."

That translation makes sense, #7.)
That day Camila had been with her best friend Rocío all afternoon and had asked her mother's permission to stay at her house and they could go to school the next day. At night they had been sitting on the sidewalk, which was where they had better signal with their cell phones, laughing and talking.
After a while and as a mischief, Rocio and Camila - who had recently changed to that school - went with their two friends to "take a walk" in the car of Hannibal, who was bigger than them, but he was the cousin of another of his classmates.
What happened during that car ride is what Justice investigates. Behind that, there is the demand of a people who mourn four of their children and rebelled against impunity.

The cops couldn't have been more wrong with these youngsters.
Thank you, sandensea. Sure hope the last little one survives, but her life will not be easy for her, now, after her experience. I have heard survivors can have a horrendous reaction incorrectly experienced as "survivor's guilt" in simply surviving while another or others were taken... Very, very sad.
