Four military police were reported by the death of 24 -year -old Igor Oliveira de Moraes Santos, a young man who was executed after a police operation held on July 10 in the community of the south of the capital. Images from the body camera of one of the police showed that the victim was shot when he was already surrendered, with his hands on his head. Two of these police officers were eventually arrested for the crime. In an interview held on July 11, Colonel Emerson Massera, a spokesman for the São Paulo Military Police, said they were arrested for intentional (intentional) murder after the body cameras pointed out that the shots were made while Igor Oliveira was already surrendered. According to the São Paulo Public Security Bureau, the death of the young man occurred after police officers received a complaint about the presence of armed men at a drug sales point in Paraisópolis.
“When the police entered this street, four people with backpacks on their backs started running and entered a house. The police went back and managed to locate the house they were in. There were three people there and one was killed by the police,” Massera explained. According to the Public Prosecution Service, the two police officers who shot Igor were denounced for willful murder. Two other agents were reported for collaborating with the unlawful act. The vice president of the Union of Residents and Trade of Paraisópolis, Janilton Jesus Brandão de Oliveira, better known as China, criticized police action in the community.
“The truth is that we can no longer talk about operation [policial] Because this is already routine, ”said the vice president of the association.“ They are executing and are killing randomly, but it is that story: it is the word of the state against the word of the population or who has lost their entity. It is not today that the 16 battalion [responsável pela região] Kills and executes, ”he said.
