According to information provided by the victim himself, Josias had sold a motorcycle in installments to a man identified as Matheus Estevão da Rocha. The buyer only paid the first installment and failed to pay the others.

On Monday (19), Josias took back the motorcycle, but the vehicle had a new exhaust system. Matheus requested the return of the accessory.

On Tuesday afternoon, Josias went to Matheus’s residence to deliver the exhaust. At the scene, the suspect, in possession of a knife, struck the victim six times, two on the back, one on the abdomen, one near the right eye and another on the head. After the attack, the perpetrator fled the scene on foot.
