Two men have been convicted for the murder of cyclist Vitor Medrado in São Paulo, Brazil, with the judge emphasizing the brutality of the crime.
The 30th Criminal Court of São Paulo has convicted two men, Jeferson de Souza Jesus and Erik Benedito Veríssimo, for the murder of cyclist Vitor Medrado, aged 46, which occurred on February 13, 2025. The incident took place near Parque do Povo in the Itaim Bibi area of São Paulo. The court's ruling came on the heels of a disturbing security camera video that captured the swift and violent nature of the attack, where Medrado was shot before he even comprehended the situation. The video does not show any clear announcement of a robbery, indicating the randomness and cruelty of the attackers' actions.
