I remember the case
On September 2, 2023, the bassist was with a friend in Paraty, when he was shot by criminals.
At the time, the friend who was with Mingau, in a statement to the Civil Police, said that he and the bassist, after withdrawing money, were going to have a snack, when they were attacked. The fourth suspect of participating in the attempted murder, the bassist of the band Ultraje a Rigor, was arrested in October by the Military Police (PM).
He was found after an anonymous tip. The suspect was detained in the rural area of Taubaté, a city in the interior of São Paulo. The man tried to escape, but was detained and taken to the police station. According to the São Paulo Public Security Department, there is another fugitive suspected of involvement in the case.
