  Amambay is a Department of the Republic of Paraguay, it limits with the Federative Republic of Brazil, and its murder rate is higher than 70 per one hundred thousand inhabitants. In this respect, it can be said that Amambay is the department with the highest violence rate and also the presence of armed groups associated with drug trafficking. For this reason, the present paper analyses the dynamics of intentional homicide and the reaction of the State through the criminal investigations in the period 2014-2019, from analysis of information related to the topic and provided by the police, as well as from final judicial judgment ruled by the area’s Courts. The methodology is of quantitative approach, descriptive level and non-experimental, since it describes the particularities of this phenomenon and it does not make connection between the concepts and the variables. The findings show that these crimes are mostly committed by gunmen. Nevertheless, between the years 2014-2019, out of 57 convicted persons, the highest percentage was in prison for interpersonal homicide, which is equivalent to the 76% that means the crimes were motivated by fights and personal disputes that are not related to organized crime. These results are alarming and require a more profound investigation in order to get to their real causes, since several factors come into play.
