Overview

• Vítor dos Santos Oliveira was detained in São Paulo’s Vila Missionária under a temporary arrest order requested by Rio’s homicide division.
• Investigators traced him using nightclub footage showing Alejandro Mario Ainsworth leaving with a man around 1:45 a.m., then images of the suspect fueling a vehicle with the victim’s card hours later.
• The case centers on a suspected Boa noite, Cinderela drugging-for-robbery scheme, a pattern recorded in Rio’s tourist areas.
• Forensic and toxicology reports from the medical examiner remain pending to determine cause of death and guide potential charges.
• Ainsworth’s body was found on Sept. 9 on Estrada da Grota Funda without visible injuries, as police also review suspicious withdrawals, loan attempts, a Google Photos upload, and possible involvement of others.
