  • The detainees are Mayck Junior Pfister Pedro and two active military policemen, Felipe Ramos Noronha of the 15th BPM (Caxias) and Fábio de Oliveira Ramos of the 3rd BPM (Méier).
  • They were arrested in Xerém, Duque de Caxias, hours after the killing while in a stolen Jeep Compass near the site where a white cloned Onix used in the attack was burned.
  • Investigators seized two 9mm pistols, a .40 pistol, four phones and a bag of license plates, and the firearms were sent for ballistic comparison with projectiles recovered from the victim.
