Influencer Executed in Pará After Recent Prison Release

Authorities treating the killing as possible retaliation by a criminal faction are examining CCTV and forensic evidence to identify the attackers.

Overview

  • Evelyn Lima Dantas was pulled from a residence and shot dead in front of a house in Mãe do Rio, with police finding her body on the sidewalk in an attack that occurred Wednesday, Sept. 16.
  • She had been detained in July on suspicion of involvement in the July killing of reserve sergeant Antônio Anildo Alves and was released on provisional freedom on Sept. 9, official records show.
  • Witnesses and police say masked men dragged her outside, fired multiple shots and left the letters “TCP” painted on the facade; security cameras recorded a car and at least two attackers but no arrests have been made.
  • Police isolated the scene, ordered forensic exams, are reviewing CCTV and witness statements, and have asked the public to report tips to Disque-Denúncia (181) as inquiries continue.
  • Dantas was a local influencer with a large social profile, and the public, violent nature of the killing has heightened local concern about witness protection and possible faction retaliation in a town with limited policing resources.
