In a tragic event during a carnival block in Paratinga, western Bahia, an 18-year-old named Abner Almeida Miranda was fatally stabbed amid a conflict between groups. The incident occurred on Friday evening, where reports indicate that a confrontation escalated, leading to the violence. Witnesses state that Abner was in attendance with friends, wearing masks, when the altercation took place.

According to the Civil Police's investigation, a 16-year-old boy has been identified as the alleged perpetrator. After the incident, he voluntarily presented himself at the police station, claiming that he had been threatened by Abner earlier that day. Following his testimony, he was released while investigations continue.

This incident highlights the potential for violence during large public gatherings, such as carnival celebrations, and raises concerns over safety and security at such events. Local authorities may need to increase measures to prevent future occurrences of violence, especially in densely populated areas where large groups congregate for festivities.
