Security camera images show Luiz driving a white car down an avenue. On the other side of the road, a vehicle with military police passes by. Shortly afterwards, the agents turn around and begin following the vehicle.
Another camera records the vehicle closest to the car. Afterwards, the vehicle appears stopped on Rua Ilha dos Remédios, in the Vila Curuçá region.
The police officers get out of the car and approach the car. Luiz opens and closes the door quickly. The agents appear to be talking to the driver. Then, one of the police officers, who is on the other side of the door, shoots seven times with a rifle. Soon after, another PM fires three more shots with a .40 caliber pistol.
After the shots, one of the police officers takes one of his hands inside his bulletproof vest and makes a movement towards the interior of the car, as if he were picking up or placing an object in the vehicle.
In a statement to the Civil Police, the officers stated that Luiz did not obey the order to get out of the car and fled at high speed through the streets. According to agents, the driver was armed and, therefore, they shot.
The police also said that they found a 38-caliber revolver with the number scratched off inside the vehicle. The weapon was seized and forensics will determine whether Luiz was armed.
The victim's father disputes the version presented by the police officers. In an interview with TV Globo, he stated that his son did not react to the approach and accused the agents of putting the gun inside the car.
"The boy didn't react to anything. He didn't do anything. So much so that he didn't owe anything. The police officers did that. They arrived and shot at close range and even had the courage to plant a gun inside the car, and the videos prove it," he said.
According to the Military Police, the agents did not use body cameras during the approach because of a technical problem with the equipment.
