A man was arrested on January 24 in Ouro Branco, Alagoas, on suspicion of attempted homicide. The arrest followed an incident that occurred after a heated argument in a bar where the suspect reportedly left only to return shortly after armed. According to the civil police, he opened fire on several individuals, indicating a reckless disregard for human life.

The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, has a prior criminal record related to serious violent offenses, although details of these previous crimes have not been made public.
