A man was shot eight times near the bus terminal at Frei Damião in the Benedito Bentes neighborhood of Maceió, Brazil. The incident occurred on the night of Monday, October 9, and while the man’s identity has not been disclosed, the police reported that he sustained multiple gunshot wounds, including three in the back, three in the torso, one in the abdomen, and one in the arm. There have been no suspects identified in the case thus far.

During a thorough examination of the scene, investigators from the local police uncovered approximately 200 grams of marijuana concealed in the victim's underwear, suggesting possible involvement in drug-related activities. This detail adds a layer of complexity to the investigation, hinting that the victim may have had affiliations with local drug trafficking, although it remains unclear whether this was related to the motive behind his murder.

The event has attracted attention from multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Military Police, the Mobile Emergency Service (Samu), and homicide and forensic experts. The prevalence of violence and drug-related crime in the region continues to rise, thereby emphasizing the ongoing challenges faced by authorities in tackling safety and crime in urban areas of Brazil.
