The Sergipe Public Prosecutor's Office has archived an investigation into the deaths of four young individuals during a police operation in Nossa Senhora do Socorro, claiming there was no excessive use of force by the officers involved.
The Ministério Público de Sergipe has decided to archive the investigation into the deaths of three young men and one adolescent during a police operation in Conjunto Fernando Collor, Nossa Senhora do Socorro. This was confirmed by family members and covered in local news. The investigation was deemed inconclusive by the Public Prosecutor's Office due to a lack of evidence suggesting that the police had acted excessively in their response to perceived threats.
The incident occurred on December 18, 2025, when four individuals, identified as Renato de Oliveira Santos (17), Maycon William Nunes Santos (22), Max Williams Nunes (27), and Gladson de Jesus dos Santos (19), were killed during the operation. According to family accounts, the young men were asleep in their home when police officers entered, leading to allegations that they were beaten and subsequently killed, calling into question the legitimacy of the police actions.
The decision to archive the inquiry has sparked concerns among the local community and advocates who are calling for more accountability and transparency in the handling of such cases. This reflects broader issues related to police conduct and the use of force in Brazil, particularly in operations against suspected criminal activities, emphasizing the ongoing debate about human rights and public safety in the region.
