A Civil Guard operation led to the detention of a 24-year-old in Ogíjares, Granada, who stands accused of shooting his father. The arrest follows an incident where officers were alerted after a man was found wounded at his home and required medical attention on a Sunday night. The emergency responders transported the injured person to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
According to statements from individuals connected to the case, the father may have been struck by a shotgun that used compressed air. Authorities conducted a careful on-site inspection and recovered several air-powered shotguns and a 22 caliber pistol. Investigators noted that the detainee did not hold a license to possess firearms and had reportedly obtained the weapon illegally. The autopsy of the victim corroborated that the fatal wound came from a bullet of the same caliber, ruling out the use of an air rifle in the shooting.
Initially, the detained teenager denied firing live ammunition. After his arrest, he acknowledged having used live rounds but claimed the shots were random and not aimed at anyone in particular. The case is being treated as a murder investigation with illegal weapon possession as part of the charges.
The suspect was brought before a court this week to address the allegations surrounding the homicide and the unlawful control of firearms. Local authorities continue to gather evidence and review the sequence of events that led to the victim’s death, aiming to establish a clear account of responsibility.
As the investigation progresses, investigators emphasize the importance of securing firearms and the dangers associated with unlicensed weapon possession. The incident has prompted authorities to remind residents that strict compliance with licensing laws is essential for public safety and to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
