Wanderson Alves, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for a robbery that resulted in murder, was apprehended by police after being on the run for nearly three months. The arrest took place in Campo Grande, Rio de Janeiro, and followed a criminal act that occurred seven years prior in Barra da Tijuca. The Civil Police successfully executed a warrant for Alves' arrest based on his conviction for the crime of completed robbery followed by murder.

During the investigation, authorities revealed that Alves was involved in multiple residential robberies in Barra da Tijuca and Recreio dos Bandeirantes, often working with two accomplices, one of whom was his sister. The violent nature of their crimes escalated when one of the robbery victims reacted to the attack and was shot by Alves and his group. Although the victim received immediate assistance from neighbors, she eventually succumbed to her injuries in the hospital, underscoring the tragic consequences of the robbery.

This case highlights the ongoing issues with violent crime in Rio de Janeiro, particularly in affluent areas like Barra da Tijuca. The successful arrest after such a lengthy period reflects law enforcement's persistence in addressing crime in the region, helping to provide a sense of justice for the victims and their families. It also serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by authorities in handling escapees from serious crimes and the complex dynamics of criminal activity in urban environments.
