Witnesses reported that five individuals in a black Gol disembarked and shot the victim, using a rifle and a machine gun.
Captain Simões, spokesman for the Military Police, spoke to the Young Pan about the murder of Vinicius Lopes Gritzbach at Guarulhos Airport this Friday (8) and provided details about what happened, which quickly mobilized the security forces. According to Simões, the incident was initially reported as an attempted robbery of an armored car. The police, who already have specific plans for the airport area, dispatched police vehicles and riot teams to the scene. However, upon arrival, they discovered that it was a homicide, not a robbery.
Witnesses reported that five individuals in a black Gol disembarked and shot at the victim, using a rifle and a machine gun. The attack was quick, leaving other people injured, but who had no connection to Gritzbach. The crime scene was cordoned off for investigation as authorities tried to understand the motivation behind the attack. It is suspected that the PCC is taking revenge against the victim, who had exposed the faction’s schemes.
The police managed to locate the suspect vehicle on Avenida Otávio Braga de Mesquita, close to the airport. A bulletproof vest and rifle ammunition were found inside the car, but the suspects were not present. Captain Simões mentioned that the victim, possibly a businessman, had already given a statement to the police about involvement in organized crime.
During the operation, a black car approached the Hélio Smith highway, which led to confusion. The police officers, in the heat of the moment, stopped the vehicle due to its similarity to the suspects’ car, but it was found that it was not related to the crime. The images ended up on social media, but the people involved were not arrested. Captain Simões clarified that the approach on the highway had no connection with the crime at the airport.
