The death of civil police officer João Pedro Marquini, 38, a member of the Special Resources Coordination (Core), still raises many doubts. He was murdered on Sunday night in Serra da Grota Funda, a region used as an escape route by criminals.
Investigations conducted by the Capital Homicide Police Station (DHC) consider two main hypotheses: a robbery that went wrong or a fatal meeting with a group of traffickers.
While experts analyze evidence and reap testimonials, some questions are essential to understanding what really happened:
Who killed João Pedro Marquini?
The main suspects are criminals of the César Maia community, controlled by Rodnei Lima de Freitas, the Barbante’s RD. The trafficker would have led an action in the Antares favela before the crime. A Tiggo 7 that may have been used in the crime was seized in the region and may contain clues about those involved. The vehicle is being inspected.
Was it a premeditated crime?
According to investigators, the possibility of an ambush is not yet discarded. Marquini may have been recognized and followed to Serra da Grota Funda. Alternatively, he may have been just a common robbery victim in the region.
How was the approach?
The policeman drove a Sandero car when he came across a Tiggo 7 crossed on the track. Upon leaving the car, he was hit by five shots. His wife, Judge Tula Mello, who was just behind in another black vehicle, managed to make reverse and escape. Her vehicle was shot four times, but was not drilled because the shield protected.
Did he try to react?
Marquini’s weapon was found in the car, next to a cell phone. This suggests that he did not have time to defend himself. Police are still seeking to understand what happened and resulted in the shots at the agent.

Are there images or witnesses?
The region is dark and has few security cameras. Even so, investigators remove the route to seek possible recordings. Witnesses are also awaited to clarify details.
What did he say in the last call?
A police friend reported having received a call from Marquini at the time of the crime. The content of the conversation, kept confidential, may be the key to understanding what happened in the final minutes.
Marquini’s death caused profound commotion among colleagues and family members. In an official note, Core highlighted his dedication and courage, placing him as ‘a reference’ in his area. The investigation proceeds to clarify the details of the case and answer the main questions open.
Researchers analyze Marquini’s route in search of security cameras that may have recorded relevant images, contributing to the elucidation of the facts.
