Police seek duo suspected of shooting young man in bar on BR-381, in Governador Valadares

Police are searching for two men suspected of being involved in the fatal shooting of a young man in a bar located on BR-381 in Governador Valadares, Brazil.

Authorities in Governador Valadares, Brazil, are actively searching for two suspects linked to the shooting death of 28-year-old Vitor Rodrigues Silva at a bar on BR-381. The incident took place late on Sunday, and the police reported that the victim was shot multiple times inside the establishment in the Turmalina neighborhood. Emergency teams arrived at the scene to find Silva already dead from his injuries.

Witness accounts suggest that the suspects approached the bar after it had closed, requesting entry to purchase drinks. When denied access, one of the men threatened the security guard by displaying a firearm. This intimidation led to their entry into the bar, where they directed gunfire towards Silva, resulting in his immediate death. Following the attack, the assailants escaped towards the busy BR-381 highway.

Reports indicate that a silver vehicle may have been waiting nearby to assist in the suspects' getaway. However, it appears that the vehicle has yet to be located. The police are urging the public to provide any information that might aid in capturing the suspects and are emphasizing the need for community cooperation to address violent incidents like this one in the region.
