The Civil Police of Minas Gerais conducted a significant operation in Manhumirim, arresting three individuals accused of involvement in a homicide case that dates back to May 2025. During this operation, the police executed three temporary arrest warrants and a search and seizure warrant as part of the second phase of the Coronelato operation. The team from the Manhumirim police department, supported by units from nearby municipalities, carried out these operations aiming to enhance the ongoing investigation.

The case began when a victim, who was working with an excavator, was shot multiple times and died on the scene. This horrific incident prompted the police to gather evidence through initial search warrants that allowed them to collect items for forensic analysis. As the investigation progressed, stronger indications emerged linking three suspects to the shooting, leading to their subsequent arrests.

According to police reports, it appears that two of the suspects allegedly orchestrated the crime, while a third individual acted as an intermediary during the execution of the plan. This information highlights the complexities of the case and raises questions about the motives behind the violent act. The police are expected to continue their investigation to uncover more details and potentially arrest additional individuals involved in the murder case.
