Overview

• São Paulo authorities said seven people have been identified in the ambush that killed former police chief Ruy Ferraz Fontes, with three now in custody after Rafael Marcell Dias Simões, conhecido como Jaguar, surrendered in São Vicente.
• Investigators cite DNA and fingerprint matches from vehicles tied to the attack and are still seeking Felipe “Mascherano” Avelino da Silva, Flávio Henrique Ferreira de Souza and Luiz Antônio “Grão” Rodrigues de Miranda.
• In Juazeiro do Norte, police captured five suspects hours after a shooting at a bar killed Patrícia Andrade do Nascimento, 27, her daughter Maria Alice, 10, and Maria Cicera Izabel dos Santos, 15, and wounded a 17-year-old; officers say a drug turf dispute is a leading line of inquiry.
• The Labor Prosecutor’s Office opened an inquiry into the mine death of Fábio Ribeiro de Jesus in Jacobina, and in Itabuna a judge issued a temporary arrest warrant for Rodrigo Gama after video led police to deem a roadwork run-over intentional; the injured worker remains in serious condition.
• Other actions included the arrests of a father and son wanted in a 2019 Colniza massacre in Rondônia and multiple off-duty police interventions, with suspects shot in Campinas and João Pessoa and a Rio de Janeiro military police sergeant fatally shot after resisting a robbery in Bento Ribeiro.
