Francisco Costa das Chagas Filho, a 28-year-old man, was fatally shot three times on the evening of Monday, October 9, in the Rui Lino neighborhood of Rio Branco, Brazil. According to the Military Police (PM-AC), Francisco's wife reported that he left their home to pay off a debt but did not return at the expected time. Concerned about his prolonged absence, she used his mobile phone's location to trace where his vehicle was parked.

When she arrived at the location, she found Francisco's car but no sign of him. After notifying the police, officers arrived and found the vehicle. During their search in the surrounding area, they discovered Francisco's body in a wooded spot nearby. Local residents reported hearing gunshots around 5 PM, indicating that he was ambushed after leaving for his appointment.

Emergency services, specifically the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu), confirmed his death on-site, with initial reports indicating that he sustained three gunshot wounds, one of which was in the abdomen. This violence adds to the concerns surrounding public safety in urban areas like Rio Branco, where cartel-related violence and debts can often lead to fatal outcomes, signaling a need for increased law enforcement and community safety measures.
