Overview

• Authorities in São Paulo and Paraná confirmed that Umberto Alberto Gomes, 39, died after resisting arrest in São José dos Pinhais during an operation to serve a court-ordered warrant.
• Investigators identified Gomes from fingerprints collected at a secondary hideout in Mongaguá used by the group linked to the September 15 ambush that killed Ruy Ferraz in Praia Grande.
• Police say four suspects are jailed and three remain at large, with arrests including Willian Silva Marques, Dahesly Oliveira Pires, Luiz Henrique Santos Batista and Rafael Marcell Dias Simões.
• Officials describe an inter-state operation driven by intelligence and ongoing lab reports, with a possible PCC connection under examination and the motive still being assessed.
• Parallel police actions across Brazil advanced other violent-crime cases through video and forensic evidence, including a staged-robbery feminicide in Paraná, a contracted hit in Amazonas, and a couple detained for a street execution in Feira de Santana.
