Police Probe Contract Feud After Doctor Kills Two Colleagues at Alphaville Restaurant

The suspect remains in preventive detention pending forensic tests, with police seeking to clarify who brought the gun bag.

Overview

  • Carlos Alberto Azevedo Filho was arrested at the scene within seconds after allegedly shooting physicians Luís Roberto Pellegrini Gomes, 43, and Vinicius dos Santos Oliveira, 35, outside a Barueri restaurant.
  • Security-camera footage shows a greeting that escalated into a fight indoors before the suspect followed the victims outside and fired multiple rounds.
  • Municipal guards called during the initial altercation searched the suspect and found no weapon, and police say he later accessed a 9 mm pistol from a bag possibly delivered by a woman under investigation.
  • Investigators cite an ongoing dispute over hospital-management contracts between the suspect and one victim as the working motive, based on witness and family statements.
  • Police seized the pistol, casings, a bag, documents and about R$16,000 for analysis; funerals are scheduled for Sunday, and Cirmed Brasil called the killings a personal, isolated act by one partner.
