To CORREIO, the family member of one of the victims, who preferred not to be identified, reported that a party was taking place in the square when a silver car, with several men on board, approached. The suspects arrived shooting several people at random. One of these victims was Jackson Oliveira Barbosa, 17 years old. He was with colleagues talking when he received the first shot.
The father, bricklayer Jackson Reis Barbosa, 39, upon realizing that his son had been hit, ran to try to help him, but ended up shot.
“The father went out desperate to try to help, but then he was also shot. The square was full. One of the men who were in the silver car came down and ‘picked up’ the bullet casings that were scattered around the place. It wasn’t a confrontation, because there was nothing unusual before that”, explained the man, this Sunday (20), at the Nina Rodrigues Legal Medical Institute (IMLNR).
In addition to the father and son, the Department of Homicide and Personal Protection (DHPP) released the names of the other three people who were also victims in the massacre: Rodrigo de Lima dos Santos, Jackson Lima de Souza and Alan Veloso da Conceição. Ages were not disclosed.
The Military Police informed, in a statement, that police officers from the 50th CIPM (Sete de Abril) were called to investigate the information that five men were injured and lying in the street. Four did not resist and one was rescued, but did not resist and died.
The rescued victim was Alan Veloso da Conceição, taken to the Emergency Care Unit (UPA) in São Marcos, but he did not survive the seriousness of his injuries.
The source spoken to by CORREIO said he ruled out the hypothesis that the crime was related to drug trafficking in the region.
“No one knows where this order came from, nor why. They were all sitting in the square enjoying Saturday, this silver car arrived shooting and caught his son, then his father ran away…”, said a woman. “Two cousins were also hit, as well as another boy who was there. None were involved, as far as I know,” said another.
After the incident, CORREIO sources who live in Sete de Abril reported that businesses in the neighborhood were closed in the morning. Some establishments, such as bakeries and some grocery stores, were open for a few hours.
The circumstances of the crime will be investigated by the Civil Police, through the Department of Homicide and Personal Protection (DHPP).
