An amateur football player was shot in the early hours of New Year’s Eve after stepping on a drug dealer’s foot during a funk dance in Queimados, Baixada Fluminense. The victim was identified as Kauan Galdino Florêncio Pereira, 18 years old.
According to witness reports, the drug dealer responsible for the shooting is nicknamed “De Ferro” and is considered the leader of drug trafficking in the community.
