André Maia Oliveira has been arrested for firing 20 shots at the door of his ex-girlfriend's home in a violent outburst following their separation after 20 years together. The incident occurred just days after the victim had reported André for threats and harassment, leading to the issuance of a protective order against him. This escalation of violence highlights the severe risks faced by women in situations of domestic abuse and the difficulties of effectively enforcing protective measures.

Less than a week after the separation, which took place on March 6, André reportedly broke into the building where his ex-partner lived, using his car to force open the entrance. During the invasion, he not only shot multiple times but also threatened to set fire to her apartment using gasoline he had brought with him. His actions reflect a troubling pattern of behavior that escalated from verbal abuse to potential murder.

The fact that he also made a phone call threatening to have the victim or her mother killed underscores the danger she is in and the urgent need for effective intervention from authorities. Following the violent incident, André surrendered to the police, indicating the potential mental instability and desperation he may be experiencing as a result of the breakup. His case raises awareness about domestic violence and the critical need for stronger protective measures for victims.
