A PRETEEN boy who posted pics online posing with guns and motorcycles has been shot dead during a high-speed chase with cops.

It’s understood Uriel Alejandro Giménez, who was known by the nickname Chispita, was in the back of the vehicle with two other occupants when the high-speed chase began.

Officers said they were trying to identify the occupants of the hatchback in the early hours of the morning when the suspects clocked they were being followed.

The driver sped off and opened fire on the officers, who gave chase and returned fire.

Several blocks later, at least two armed adults abandoned the Fiat Uno Van Fire and fled on foot, police said.

Inside the vehicle, officers found Uriel’s body along with spent shell casings.

Paramedics confirmed that he had died from gunshot wounds, including a shot to the chest.

The case has been classified as “homicide aggravated by the use of a firearm” with one police officer formally charged.

Authorities are still searching for the men who escaped after the shooting.

Uriel regularly posed with guns and motorcycles on social media.

In one image, he wore a T-shirt featuring a boy who died during a robbery attempt in Remedios de Escalada in October 2025.

Judicial sources confirmed that Uriel had a prior record, having been booked at a local police station in October 2025 for covering up a crime.

He was laid to rest in Tres de Febrero.

His sister, Kiara, paid tribute online: “Only you and I know what we went through together. I hope you’ve found your peace, my dear brother.

“I love you with all my heart.

“My dear brother, you’ve left me shattered. Rest in peace.”
