The complaint from the Public Ministry of Rio (MPRJ) points out that, on the 18th, Fábio left a gym in Itaguaí, a municipality in Baixada, and was followed for around 15 kilometers until he was shot dead by two men in a car on Avenida Padre Guilherme Decaminada, in Santa Cruz, in the West Zone of Rio. Security cameras indicate that the killers arrived in the gym’s parking lot at 9:38 am and the murder took place around 11:45 am.
According to the complaint, Antônio is the owner of the vehicle and participated in the execution of the crime at the behest of a criminal group that runs illicit activities in the region. In testimony, the victim’s son said that Fábio owned a club in Santa Cruz and paid a weekly “security fee” to militia members, but was unable to say whether there was any debt. The case is being investigated by the Capital Homicide Police Station (DHC), which is investigating the motivation and looking for others involved in the crime.
