Remember the case
The police officer was shot in the head during an attempted execution on Saturday morning (27), on Avenida Goiás, in São Caetano do Sul, Greater São Paulo.
According to CNN Brasil, the lieutenant was leaving a gym when he was surprised by two boys on a motorcycle. On that occasion, the suspects stopped next to Pimentel on an avenue and fired shots.
According to authorities, Ronickson received first aid from Samu (Mobile Emergency Care Service) while still at the scene and was taken to a hospital unit by the Águia helicopter from the PM Air Group. See:
