A mother and her teenage daughter were shot dead during a dispute over loud music in Cabreúva, Brazil, with their funeral taking place shortly after the tragic incident.
On Tuesday morning, the community in Cabreúva, São Paulo, mourned the tragic deaths of 36-year-old Camila de Sousa Figueiredo and her 14-year-old daughter Camila Vitória de Sousa Cardoso, who were killed in a shooting incident provoked by a disagreement over loud music. The shooting occurred on the evening of Sunday, October 8, and besides the two fatalities, two other individuals were wounded in the conflict. The wake for the mother and daughter started at 8 AM, followed by their burial scheduled for noon at the Parque Memorial Japi Cemetery.
According to the Military Police, the situation escalated when officers patrolling the area heard gunshots and responded to the scene. They encountered an armed man and attempted to intervene by firing a warning shot without injury in an effort to halt the violence. Unfortunately, by the time the police arrived, chaos had already ensued, resulting in the deaths of the two women and injuries to others involved. Eyewitness accounts indicated that residents attempted to confront the shooter during his detention by police, highlighting the community's outrage and desperation in response to the violence.

The response from law enforcement and community leaders will be critical in addressing the grief and anger felt by the residents of Cabreúva, who now demand justice and solutions to prevent such incidents in the future.
