A tragic series of events unfolded in Botucatu, Brazil, when a 34-year-old man named Diego Felipe Corrêa da Silva was shot and killed in front of his family. On the evening of Saturday, October 21, as he was driving down Avenida Cecília Lourenção, shots were fired at him, causing him to lose control of his vehicle and crash into a post. Emergency services arrived on the scene to find him dead and his wife critically injured from a gunshot wound to the head.

The attack was reportedly executed by the woman's ex-partner, who is now the prime suspect and is currently on the run. Alongside Diego and his wife were two children, both aged 8, during the violence. After the crash, the suspect pulled over, removed one of the children from the vehicle—a child believed to be his with the ex-partner—and then fled the scene. The police are actively searching for the suspect, emphasizing the grave nature of the incident as a family is shattered by violence and a child is missing.

This incident raises serious concerns about domestic violence and the safeguarding of children affected by such conflicts. It highlights the increasing need for effective intervention and protective measures for families in similar situations. The community and authorities are urged to remain vigilant and cooperative in the efforts to locate the fleeing suspect and to provide any necessary support to the victims' family.
