- Police are offering 100,000 reais for information leading to the capture or delivery of Edgar Alves Andrade, 55, known as Doca da Penha or Urso.
- Authorities identify Andrade as the top figure in Comando Vermelho, citing about 20 outstanding arrest warrants and investigations into more than 100 homicides reported by Disque Denúncia.
