The escalation of violence caused by the territorial dispute between criminal groups has placed the residents of Volta Redonda (RJ) in a constant state of alert. The armed invasion on Sunday, October 25, which began with clashes in the Vila Brasília Complex, has already led to shootings, deaths and the overt mobilization of security forces in at least 14 neighborhoods in the city.

The unstable scenario has changed the population's routine in different parts of the city, with residents recording shootings in videos and audios circulating on social media.

The Civil and Military Police intensified joint operations to contain the territorial expansion of criminals and reestablish security.
