According to the garrison, at the scene, military police found one of the men, 26 years old, lying on the ground with injuries sustained as a result of blows to the head with a machete. The victim was taken to the hospital, but he did not survive and died in the unit.

At the scene of the disturbance, the police received information that the 30-year-old perpetrator of the murder had fled into the forest. After checking, the police received information indicating the suspect’s “hiding place”: the house of a local resident.

After patrolling, Rio Fortuna Garrison located the defendant attempting to hide behind a tree behind the suspected home. According to the prime minister, the man was “interfering and did not obey” commands.

At some point, the suspect “attacked” Garrison with a machete, after which the police officer fired three shots and the man was wounded. He was treated by firefighters and taken to hospital, but did not survive and died.
