Mossoró Councilor Shot During Live Stream, Aide Killed

Recovered rifle-caliber evidence, live-stream footage and an abandoned car are guiding investigators who are probing whether the attack was retaliation for the councilor's public denunciations of criminal factions.

Overview

  • The shooting happened Monday night during a live stream outside the UPA do Alto de São Manoel when occupants of a passing vehicle opened fire, wounding councilor Cabo Deyvison and fatally striking his aide Alyson Dyego de Oliveira Morais.
  • Cabo Deyvison was treated at the UPA and then transferred to Hospital Regional Tarcísio Maia where his team says his condition is stable.
  • Police found a 5.56-caliber magazine at the scene and later recovered an abandoned car for forensic examination, but no suspects have been arrested so far.
  • Investigators from the DHPP are analyzing the live stream, nearby security cameras and the vehicle as they probe possible links to the councilor's recent public denunciations of criminal factions and follow leads that may cross state lines.
  • The attack used rifle-grade ammunition, forced a police cordon at the health unit that put patients and staff at risk, and has prompted state security authorities to prioritize the investigation.
