Overview
- São Paulo’s DHPP secured a temporary arrest order for an eighth suspect in the execution of ex-delegado-geral Ruy Ferraz Fontes, with four people already detained and four still sought.
- Forensic work recorded at least 63 shots at the crime scene in Praia Grande and is analyzing fingerprints from a Mongaguá address and DNA that links suspects to seized vehicles.
- The PM’s Batalhão de Choque fatally shot Cleberson “Nego Mimo”, whom the state security chief says belonged to the PCC-affiliated Bonde dos 14 and was tied to a 2019 plot against Fontes; police have not confirmed a direct link to the current killing.
- In the Pantanal, a 1958 Cessna 175 (PT-BAN) crashed during landing near Fazenda Barra Mansa, killing architect Kongjian Yu, documentarists Luiz Fernando Feres da Cunha Ferraz and Rubens Crispim Jr., and pilot-owner Marcelo Pereira de Barros.
- Authorities note the aircraft was certified only for daytime visual flight and are reviewing suspected operation outside permitted hours, while Cenipa leads the crash probe and DNA testing is required to identify the carbonized victims; the plane had been seized in 2019 over clandestine air-taxi use and later regularized.
