The police are investigating the case of Daiane Alves Souza, a 43-year-old real estate broker, who was allegedly killed by Cléber Rosa de Oliveira, a 49-year-old condominium manager. Oliveira told the authorities that the gunshot was accidental, occurring during a physical struggle where Souza, known for her jiu-jitsu skills, managed to take the gun from him. However, he could not specify how the gun was discharged. The incident took place on December 17, 2025, in Caldas Novas, Brazil, and lacks eyewitnesses, complicating the investigation.

Oliveira was arrested on January 28, following the shooting incident, and his defense has indicated that they have not yet reviewed all the investigation documents, particularly the final report. They plan to provide a public response once they have a complete understanding of the case. The lack of clear evidence and witnesses makes the investigation challenging for the police officers involved.

This case raises significant questions regarding self-defense claims in domestic disputes and the legal interpretations of accidental shootings. It also highlights potential issues surrounding gun safety and the responsibilities of gun owners. The broader implications may affect public opinion and discourse on firearm regulations in Brazil, especially considering the ongoing discussions around violence and gun control in the country.
