Jucélio da Silva Sirino has been apprehended by police after nearly ten years of evasion following a tragic incident from 2016, where he killed his cousin Amanda dos Santos Souza in Bauru, SP. His capture occurred in Pongaí when he ignored a police checkpoint signal and attempted to escape on his motorcycle. Sirino, who had been a fugitive since the aftermath of the accident, was aware of a standing arrest warrant for 16 years and 4 months in a closed regime.

The arrest was facilitated by military police from the 44th Tactical Battalion, who acted on intelligence information indicating Sirino's location. Upon encountering the police, he attempted to flee but lost control and fell from his motorcycle. Even after crashing, his evasion attempts did not succeed as he tried to hide in a pasture area. The police were quick to respond and apprehended him.

This incident demonstrates the ongoing challenges in law enforcement related to long-term fugitives in Brazil. Sirino's case highlights the impact of road safety regulations and the potential consequences of reckless driving, which devastated a family and resulted in a significant prison sentence. His arrest may serve as a reminder of the justice system's persistence in bringing fugitives to account, even years after the crime has been committed.
