The Rio de Janeiro Civil Police are investigating whether the agent of the Special Resources Coordination (Core), José Lourenço, was killed by a shot at close range by a gunman hidden behind a setem-opening in reinforced walls used by criminals to shoot safely and accurately. This tactic is common in areas dominated by trafficking, especially at strategic points of ambush against security forces or in attacks on rival factions.
Homicide division teams were at the scene, where they conducted technical expertise to collect evidence that help clarify the details of the crime and identify those responsible.
According to witnesses, there was no confrontation as the policeman was hit. He participated in an operation in the City of God focused on the fulfillment of warrants against irregular ice factories when he was shot in the head. José Lourenço was even rescued and urgently taken to the Lourenço Jorge Municipal Hospital. Undergoing surgery, it could not resist the injuries. The death was confirmed through a note of regret released by the corporation.
Another line of investigation that can contribute to the elucidation of the case involves the presence of Ygor Freitas de Andrade, the “Matuê” in the community. Appointed as a member of Chacrinha’s trafficking in Praça Seca, linked to the Comando Vermelho (CV) faction, Matuê is part of the gang led by Juan Breno Malta Ramos Rodrigues, the “BMW”, suspected of involvement in several homicides, including the attack on the kiosk in a kiosk in Barra da Tijuca in October 2023.
A fugitive since 2019, when he has not returned from a pardon, Matuê is sought by two arrest warrants – for murder and theft. According to the sought website, it accumulates several criminal notes and two prison system easons. The portal also released a poster offering $ 5,000 reward for information about the police murder.
In an official note, the Civil Police reported that the investigations are ongoing. Agents perform steps and analyze intelligence data to locate and hold those involved.
Under strong commotion, family members, friends and uniformed colleagues pay on Tuesday (20) the last honors to agent José Lourenço. The funeral occurs since early afternoon at Jardim da Saudade Cemetery in Sulacap, where the body will be buried.
