With one suspect arrested, the Civil Police, supported by Rota (Rondas Ostensivas Tobias de Aguiar), are seeking clues as to the whereabouts of the second person involved in the death of special class delegate Mauro Guimarães Soares, 59. The police officer was shot in the chest late Saturday morning, the 21st, in Vila Romana, in the Lapa district, in the west zone of São Paulo.
As shown by the Statethe suspect identified and arrested is called Enzo Wagner Lima Campos, 24 years old. According to the São Paulo Public Security Department (SSP), he had already been arrested on other occasions, four of them for robberies involving the use of a firearm. Last year, he was convicted, but was serving a precautionary measure on the streets.
While walking on the sidewalk of Caio Graco Street, the police officer and his wife (also a police officer, Ana Paula Batista Ramalho Soares) were approached by two motorcyclists, who announced the robbery. There was an exchange of gunfire, in which Soares and one of the suspects were hit.
The case was registered as robbery-homicide at the 91st Police District (Ceasa), with the investigation led by DEIC (State Department of Criminal Investigations). The police did not release the identity of the suspect who is on the run.
The police chief had a 35-year career and came from a family with a history linked to the Civil Police. A police chief at Deic, he had experience in several departments and police stations in Greater São Paulo and in the interior, such as Barueri and Sorocaba.
A video shared by residents shows the moment the attack took place. In it, a man stops a motorcycle behind a van. As the couple approaches, a motorcyclist heads towards the sidewalk and appears to announce the robbery. At that moment, a woman with a baby stroller who was a few meters away manages to change direction and quickly leave.
Then, shots are fired. The police officer and the motorcyclist are on the ground. The police officer removes the suspect’s gun and tries to restrain him. According to witnesses, the police officer fired several shots at the ground to prevent the criminal from fleeing.
The incident occurred just a few meters away from the 7th Police District (Lapa), on Rua Camilo. Even so, as the State showed, Rua Caio Graco and its surroundings are among the hotspots for robberies in the region between the Lapa and Perdizes districts.
