On social media, the victim’s sister, Karina Siegel Simas, mourned the death of her brother. “Rest in peace, my dear brother. I know that you are now next to our eternal father and in the arms of our mother. Stay with God and his guardian angels.”

A crime

At about 3:20 p.m., the PM (military police) was called in a case of premeditated murder. Witnesses reported not noticing the altercation before it happened.

Brusca’s military fire department, called to help the man, said that when the garrison arrived on the scene, they found the victim already lifeless, lying on a stool. The man had a stab wound to the front of his skull.

Witnesses reported that two shots were fired, however, since the man was already dead when firefighters arrived, the garrison did not move the body to save the scene. The civil and scientific police were called to initiate criminal proceedings.

There are suspicions that the crime is politically motivated, but the Civil Police only reported that they have opened an investigation into the case and that the investigation remains confidential. The shooter fled the scene and has not yet been located.
