Diego Lima, 19, was shot on Nov. 11 while walking in Itapuã’s Largo Nova Esperança/Alto do Coqueirinho area and died after being rescued. Witnesses told police the gunmen fired from a passing car, and no arrests had been made by Wednesday. Units from Bahia’s 32nd Military Police Battalion secured the scene as the Technical Police Department conducted forensic work. The Homicide and Protection Department assumed the case, issued removal and autopsy guides, and continues diligences to identify those responsible and determine a motive. Jacuipense said the ex‑U20 attacker still had a non‑professional contract and issued condolences; he was buried Wednesday at the Municipal Cemetery of Brotas after youth stints at Palmeiras, Bahia, Ceará and Jacuipense alongside future pros like Endrick, Estevão and Vitor Reis.
