The attack
The attack against the officer occurred on the morning of 27/6, on Avenida Goiás, in São Caetano do Sul. Ronickson was off duty, in civilian clothes and had just left a gym.
Security camera footage showed the moment he was waiting for a traffic light to open on his motorcycle when he was surprised by two men on another motorcycle.
The lieutenant was rescued by Samu (Mobile Emergency Care Service) and transported to the hospital by the PM's Águia helicopter.
Ronickson is the older brother of Eloá Pimentel, a 15-year-old girl who was murdered in 2008 by her ex-boyfriend Lindemberg Alves, after being held hostage for more than 100 hours and a case of great repercussion in the press.
According to the latest information from the investigation, the investigations resulted in the location and seizure of a white Renault Logan car, in the early hours of Wednesday, which would have been used by criminals in the attempted murder of the lieutenant. The vehicle was also located in the Guaianases region.
It was parked in a field and covered by a gray cover, which caught the attention of the police. By identifying the license plate, the agents determined that it was the vehicle in question.
