Woman Executed By Favela Gangsters

Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The Baixada Fluminense Homicide Division is investigating the execution of a woman by traffickers. According to police, members of the Terceiro Comando Puro executed the victim with rifle shots while recording everything.

According to the police, the main line of investigation is that Sumara O.d.A., 28, was killed because her ex-husband was allegedly a member of a rival faction.

The crime took place during an invasion by traffickers from Barro Vermelho, an area controlled by the TCP, into the Dique community, which is controlled by the Comando Vermelho.

Sumara was with her two children, ages 3 and 5, when she was taken by criminals to another part of the community. Images shared on social media show the victim lying on the ground saying: "I have children, please" before being executed
