The São Paulo Police are searching for the man who allegedly shot a couple inside a car on Rodovia Castelo Branco, in the Boituva region, in the interior of São Paulo. The fugitive’s car was found in a hotel in Piraju, a municipality close to the border with Paraná, on Saturday, the 16th.
According to the Military Police, the case occurred after overtaking followed by a collision. Videos of the moment of the shooting spread across social media. The car that was hit was armored and there is currently no information about any injuries.
In one of the videos, the man is accompanied by a woman. He approaches the other car and points a gun. One of the occupants then closes the vehicle window.
The other recording was made at another time, from inside the car, and the threatened person appears on the phone asking the police for guidance. She is instructed not to open the window and, subsequently, the man fires around four shots.
In a statement, the Public Security Secretariat (SSP-SP) pointed out that the Court ordered the temporary arrest of the suspect. The case is investigated by the Itapetininga General Investigations Department as an attempted murder.
“According to information from the Military Police, a couple was in a vehicle when another car overtook them, at which point there was a collision. The driver of the second car was armed and fired a few times, hitting the windshield and headlights,” the secretariat pointed out.
“The investigations took the team to the city of Piraju, to a hotel, where the man’s car was located and seized this afternoon (Saturday). He was no longer there, having managed to escape, therefore, he is considered a fugitive”, he concluded.
On the morning of this Sunday, the 16th, the police searched the shooter’s house, in Mairiporã, but the man was not found. Executing a search and seizure warrant, the police seized a safe, a type of sword used in martial arts and the suspect’s passport.
