The police arrested four suspects for participating in the murder of lawyer Cássio Bruno Barroso, in Rio Verde, in the southwest of Goiás. Among those arrested are a father, his son and the father’s wife, all accused of direct involvement in the crime. .
The crime occurred last Thursday (3), when the lawyer was shot dead in front of the office where he worked as a partner.
According to the police, investigations revealed that the vehicle used by the executors was found abandoned at a gas station. After leaving the car at the scene, the criminals fled in another vehicle, which acted as support for their escape.
The police followed the route taken by this second car, which was heading towards Mato Grosso, the state where the accused reside. During the investigation, it was discovered that the vehicle stopped to refuel at a gas station, where the name of one of those involved was identified.
According to the police, the criminals were monitoring the victim days before the crime. The investigations also located a hotel where the accused stayed, and proof of payment was obtained in the name of two of the four suspects.
According to the lawyer, Adelson Candeo, responsible for the investigations, the family that was arrested has an extensive criminal history, including involvement in serious crimes.
“Criminals have a history of previous violent crimes. In fact, this group is accused of murdering a former mayor of the city of Confresa, in Mato Grosso, a crime for which they have already been indicted”, said the delegate.
Remember the crime:
Last Thursday (3), lawyer Cássio Bruno Barroso was shot dead in front of his office in Rio Verde, in the interior of Goiás.
According to the Military Police, the crime took place in Rio Verde on Avenida Eurico Veloso do Carmo, in the Jardim Adriana neighborhood. The lawyer was leaving the law firm of which he was a partner when he was surprised.
Security cameras even recorded the attack. In the images, at around 1:33 pm, it is possible to see the lawyer leaving the office and heading towards a truck.
The moment he opens the vehicle door to enter, that’s when a man gets out of a car parked nearby, approaches the professional and fires shots. The suspect then returns to the car he left and flees the scene.
Cássio was hit by around five shots in the chest, lower back and shoulder. A team from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) was called, but the lawyer succumbed to his injuries and died at the scene.
On social media, OAB – Rio Verde lamented the episode through a note of condolence:
“The Board of Directors of OAB Rio Verde expresses its deep regret at the death of lawyer Cássio Bruno Barroso. Unfortunately we are living through a regrettable episode today. The OAB-GO and the Rio Verde Subsection are together to demand punishment for this terrible crime that took the life of our colleague”, informed the note.
