Why It Matters
The incident occurred after an argument in front of the suspect's residence, with conflicting versions as to whether there was an attempted break-in or just a disagreement that culminated in a firearm being fired.
The homicide reportedly took place after an argument in front of the suspect's property. According to the victim's companion, Luiz Kleber was on the sidewalk when the resident came out and demanded that he and the group that accompanied him leave the front of her house. Soon after, she allegedly fired the shot.
On the other hand, the Military Police reported that they were initially called to respond to an incident of attempted home invasion. In preliminary testimony, the resident told the police that she asked the group to move away from her house, but the men returned minutes later and started stoning the property, at which point she reacted.
According to the victim's companion, the attacker used a long weapon, possibly a shotgun, to shoot Luiz Kleber and even tried to fire a second shot, but the group ran. The weapon used in the crime was not located by the police during the search of the residence.
The Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) was called and attempted to resuscitate the victim. According to nurse Maurício Magalhães, Luiz Kleber was found without vital signs.
The teams performed cardiac massage, intubation and administered emergency medication for several minutes, but death was confirmed at the scene. Medical expertise identified that the shot hit the victim's chest, very close to the heart.
The suspect was taken to the 16th Urban Civil Police Section. The case will be investigated to clarify the dynamics of the crime.
