Moisés Trindade, a Brazilian actor known for his roles in community-based projects, was tragically shot dead in Salvador on January 23, 2023, right in front of his two children and parents. The incident occurred near his bar in the Calçada neighborhood, where two assailants on a motorcycle approached and opened fire. As of January 24, no arrests have been made in connection with the killing, raising concerns about violence in the area.

Trindade was an active member of the collective "Fatos de Favela," which seeks to highlight the realities of life in Salvador's favelas and dissuade young people from crime. Founded in 2019, the collective has amassed around 33,000 followers and uses videos featuring simulated gunplay to tell stories about the hardships faced by the residents while promoting a positive message that 'crime does not pay.' Moisés also contributed to the YouTube channel "Pé no Chão," launched in late 2021, alongside friends from his community.

The murder of Moisés Trindade not only marks a significant loss for his family and community but also reflects the ongoing issues of violence that plague urban areas in Brazil. His death, occurring in a public space with children present, raises alarming questions about safety and the societal conditions in which such incidents happen, emphasizing the urgent need for addressing crime and supporting community initiatives.
