The homicide investigation in Baixada Fluminense has led to the arrest of Alan Victor Bezerra Ribeiro, also known as 'Alanzinho', who is suspected of being involved in the murder of Marcos Aparecido Barcelos da Silva back in January. The police apprehended him in the São Jorge community on October 12, marking the third arrest in connection to this case. The motive for the crime appears to be a family inheritance dispute.

According to police reports, the alleged mastermind behind the homicide, Suellen Custódio de Amorim, had conflicts concerning her family's inheritance. The investigation revealed that she offered a payment of R$ 5,000 to a local mototaxi driver, Felipe Davi Sena, to help find a hitman willing to commit the murder. Suellen's relationship to the victim—he was her partner's brother-in-law—has brought a complex layer to this tragic familial conflict.

The case highlights the extreme lengths to which individuals may go to resolve disputes tied to financial inheritances, particularly within families. With three suspects now arrested in this homicide, the police continue to unravel this disturbing case that reflects on the implications of inheritance disputes and their potential to escalate into deadly confrontations in Brazil's more vulnerable communities.
