One of the three suspects involved in the murder of PM Corporal Anderson Valemtim, 46, and his daughter, Alycia Valemtim, 19, in the parking lot of a pharmacy in the North Zone of the capital, handed himself in to the police this Tuesday ( 27).
Douglas Henrique de Jesus had already been temporarily detained. The crime occurred in the early hours of last Saturday (24), in Vila Medeiros.
In a press conference held on Tuesday afternoon (27), the police said that the suspect has not yet been interviewed due to his state of intoxication. According to delegate Severino Vasconcelos, Douglas had consumed drugs and alcohol since the day of the crime, and the family asked the man to surrender to the State Department of Criminal Investigations, the DHHP.
Regarding the other two suspects, identified as Erivaldo Aparecido de Lima and Diogo Damasceno dos Santos, the police stated that they will not stop the searches and that they are working “uninterruptedly”.
Still during the press conference, asked about the fourth suspect, who was driving the car used by the criminals, the police chief declared that he “would not comment on the matter”.
In addition to testimonial evidence, fingerprints and biological materials were collected from the car used in the crime, which, according to the police, will be compared with those of the accused.
The vehicle was abandoned in Guarulhos, in the metropolitan region, approximately 5 kilometers from the crime scene.
According to the police, the indicative material is high, and those indicted have a history of property crimes, such as robbery and homicide.
As determined by agents, the suspects are part of a gang specialized in robbing establishments. The pharmacy they intended to rob was robbed every fifteen days, according to the police chief.
The Secretary of Public Security, Guilherme Derrite, was also present at the press conference held at DHHP.
Derrite commented on the case and said it was “absurd to try to find it normal for a criminal who goes to an establishment every 15 days to commit a robbery”.
The crime
The military police officer was killed last Saturday morning (24) in the parking lot of a pharmacy, in the North Zone of the capital of São Paulo. Anderson de Oliveira Valentin was off duty and in the car with his 19-year-old daughter.
Security cameras recorded the moment of the crime.
In the images, it is possible to see when the three individuals arrive behind the PM's car, hooded and wearing masks, and, upon making eye contact with the police officer, exchange waves with him. From inside the car, Anderson pointed the gun at the three individuals, who gave up on entering the pharmacy, which had the door locked, and left.
As the criminals begin to walk away, the PM corporal gets out of the car and one of the criminals pulls out his gun, which is when the exchange of gunfire begins. The pharmacy's circuit camera records the time, 5:14 am.
The Military Police were called at around 5:19 am to Avenida Nossa Senhora do Loreto, 990, in Vila Medeiros. The Fire Department was also called to provide first aid, but the two victims did not survive.
In a statement, the SSP lamented the death of the military police officer and reported that Corporal Anderson was part of the 7th BMP/M.
The case was registered at the 39th DP (Vila Gustavo).
