Ruan Pablo da Silva Franco was shot dead in the early hours of Sunday morning in the Sibéria neighborhood of Xapuri, Acre. According to the Military Police (PM-AC), Ruan was leaving a bar when two masked men arrived on a motorcycle and shot him in the head before fleeing the scene. Despite emergency services being called, Ruan was pronounced dead at the site of the incident as he had already lost vital signs.

Witnesses reported to the police that the attack was swift and seemed to target only Ruan, with only the passenger of the motorcycle firing the shots. The details surrounding the motive for the shooting remain unclear, as no links to previous conflicts or gang activity have been established publicly. The incident has raised concerns about safety in the area, particularly for young individuals in nightlife settings.

As authorities continue to investigate, the body has been sent to the Legal Medical Institute (IML) for an autopsy and further forensic examination. The suspects involved in the shooting had not been identified by the afternoon of Sunday, and community members are left anxious following this violent event, hoping for swift justice and effective measures to enhance security in their neighborhood.
