Taxi Driver Shot in Head During Morumbi Pharmacy Robbery in São Paulo

Overview

• Security video shows the victim, identified as Marcelo, raising his hands before being shot at close range after entering the store on Tuesday night.
• He was taken to Hospital do Campo Limpo, where he remains hospitalized, and officials have not disclosed his clinical condition.
• Four masked, armed men stole high-value items including slimming pens, refrigerated medicines, perfumery products, and cash before fleeing the scene.
• Investigators say the gunman may have believed the victim was security or police based on his appearance, and the four suspects are still being sought.
• Hours later in an unrelated case, police arrested one adult and two adolescents after a pharmacy theft near Rua Oscar Freire, seizing about R$30,000 in medicines and R$4,400 in cash with no weapons recovered, as a TV Globo tally counts at least 62 pharmacy robberies in 2025 with October the most active month so far.
