On February 13, the jury court in Marília sentenced six men for the murder of two victims, including a pregnant woman who lost her baby due to the violent incident. The crime occurred on November 25, 2021, and was linked to a drug trafficking conflict where one of the perpetrators sought to settle a debt involving the drug trade. The prosecution presented evidence indicating that one of the convicted men was part of a criminal organization that controlled drug trafficking in the Marília area.

The tragic event unfolded when the targeted victim attempted to flee from gunfire in a bar located in the south zone of Marília but was shot and died at the scene. Additionally, a pregnant woman who was eight months along was caught in the crossfire, leading to her own death and the loss of her unborn child. This case not only highlights the grim realities of drug-related violence in Brazil but also raises significant legal and ethical questions concerning the impact of crime on vulnerable individuals, such as pregnant women.

The decision to bring the six men to justice underlines the ongoing battle against organized crime in São Paulo state and reflects the judicial system's response to severe cases of violence that involve collateral damage to innocent victims. The community is now left grappling with the aftermath of this violence and the implications it poses for public safety and the family members of those affected.
