In a tragic incident on Saturday, November 21, Danilo Lima de Moraes, a 19-year-old male, was shot and killed in a bar located in the São Domingos neighborhood of Altamira, Pará, which is situated 815 kilometers from Belém. Eyewitnesses reported that two men on a motorcycle arrived at the bar, and one of them opened fire on the victim, targeting his head. Attempts to save Danilo proved futile as he succumbed to his injuries at the scene while emergency responders were called to assist.
