On the night of Sunday, January 15, 2023, Rogério dos Santos Quimba was arrested in Mirante da Serra, Brazil, as a suspect in the shooting incident that injured a three-year-old girl in Ji-Paraná. The shocking incident occurred on January 18, 2023, when a mother and her daughter were shot while seated in their vehicle, coming under fire near a car garage. Authorities revealed that the girl was struck in the face by a bullet during the crossfire, which erupted due to a dispute involving firearms in the area.

Following the shooting, the child required emergency surgery at the Municipal Hospital of Ji-Paraná, where doctors successfully removed the bullet from her face. The incident drew significant attention from local law enforcement, leading the Military Police to discover multiple shell casings of different calibers at the crime scene. This indicated that at least two firearms were used during the shooting, prompting an exhaustive investigation by the Civil Police to identify all individuals involved and ascertain which weapon inflicted the injury on the young girl.

The arrest of Quimba is seen as a critical development in the ongoing investigation, reflecting the authorities' commitment to addressing gun violence, particularly in situations where innocent lives are affected. The shooting not only highlights the grave risks posed to children in such environments but also emphasizes the urgent need for effective community safety measures to prevent further incidents of this nature in Brazil.
