Francisco das Chagas de Sousa, 44, died at Barrinha Beach in Cajueiro da Praia, Brazil, after being restrained by individuals at local establishments. Witnesses reported that he was harassing customers and having arguments with waitstaff, prompting concern among beachgoers. During the incident, he was found to be armed with a knife, which was later confiscated and handed to law enforcement officers.
According to the Civil Police of Piauí, the disturbances began as Francisco engaged in inappropriate behavior towards patrons of the beach stalls. This led to confrontations with waitstaff, resulting in him being held down with his face facing the sand. Witness statements, including some from military police, described him as being under the influence of alcohol and causing various disruptions in the area, which intensified the situation.
The police are currently conducting a technical examination of the scene and actively investigating the circumstances surrounding Francisco's death. They are exploring the dynamics of the events leading to his restraint and whether any criminal conduct, intentional or negligent, contributed to his demise. Authorities are interviewing witnesses and participants, with four individuals already providing their accounts to help clarify the incident.
