On Thursday, October 26, police in São Paulo arrested two individuals connected to the planning of a robbery that resulted in the tragic death of 20-year-old Beatriz Munhos. She was shot in the head during an attempted sale of a drone valued at R$ 27,000, which was being sold by her in the presence of her father and boyfriend. The robbery unfolded when the criminals posed as legitimate buyers, a tactic frequently used in high-stakes thefts to gain the trust of their victims.

The arrested suspects include 26-year-old Gabriel Ferreira, identified as the mastermind behind the robbery. Ferreira allegedly used fake social media profiles to lure unsuspecting sellers of high-value items such as drones and smartphones. Once a sale location was set, he would inform other gang members to carry out the robbery, demonstrating a calculated approach to crime that involved detailed planning and execution, including supplying weapons for the operation.

The second suspect, 22-year-old Mateus Andrade, was also apprehended in connection with the ambush. The details surrounding their arrests not only shed light on the violent tactics used by criminals in São Paulo but also highlight the ongoing issues of safety and crime in urban areas. As authorities continue to crack down on organized crime, these arrests are a significant step towards bringing justice to victims and addressing the threat posed by such criminal networks.
