Father of young woman shot in the head in ambush calls for justice and talks about the arrest of suspects: 'It won’t bring my daughter back'
The father of Beatriz Munhos, a young woman killed in a robbery ambush, expresses a mix of relief and sadness over the arrest of two suspects and calls for justice.
Beatriz Munhos, a 20-year-old college student, was tragically killed in November 2025 in an elaborate robbery ambush in São Paulo, where assailants posed as potential buyers of a drone her father was selling. During the attempted robbery, Beatriz bravely defended herself by spraying pepper spray at one of the criminals, but was ultimately shot in the head and died at the scene. Her story has captured public attention and raised concerns about safety and crime in urban areas.
Her father, Lucas Munhoz, from Sorocaba, expressed his feelings following the arrests of two suspects in the case. In an interview, he communicated a sense of relief that the suspects were apprehended, but also deep sorrow that these actions would not bring his daughter back. Munhoz emphasized the ongoing pain of losing Beatriz and the need for justice to be served in her case. The family's suffering underlines the broader societal issues related to violence and crime in Brazil.
The incident highlights the increasing dangers faced by young people in urban settings, as well as the importance of addressing public safety and criminal activity. With surveillance evidence of the crime, there is hope for a thorough investigation and accountability for those involved. The community watches closely, demanding justice not only for Beatriz but also for a safer environment for all citizens.
