A homeless man, identified as Madson José de Sousa, aged 35, was stabbed to death in the early hours of this Thursday morning (6), on Rua Piauí, in the Dom Giocondo neighborhood, popularly known as Papoco, in Rio Branco.
According to information provided by the Military Police, Madson was consuming alcohol and drugs in the company of another man, when an argument between them ended up turning into a fight. During the confrontation, the suspect — not yet identified — pulled out a knife and dealt a deep blow to the victim’s shoulder. After the crime, he fled the scene and was not found.

The Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) was called and sent an advanced support team to the scene, but paramedics only confirmed the death. According to rescuers, the blow hit an artery, causing intense bleeding and immediate death. Madson’s body was removed by the Legal Medical Institute (IML), where it will undergo autopsy examinations and await the presence of family members.
The Papoco neighborhood has been the scene of several episodes of violence in recent months, and residents report that the law of silence makes it difficult to identify those responsible for crimes. The case remains under investigation.
