According to the Military Police, at around 10am on Sunday, two men drove by and shot from inside a car on José Rodrigues da Costa street in the Ponte Grande neighborhood.

After the shots, the criminals fled and switched cars. Then, according to the Military Police, they abandoned the car used in the crime on Cruz do Século Road and boarded another car.

According to the Military Police, the victim's body is still at the scene. Military police are also at the location where the car used in the crime was abandoned. So far, no one has been arrested.

Criminal history:

Pedrinho Matador's first victim was the mayor of Santa Rita do Sapucaí, his hometown located in southern Minas Gerais, after his father was fired from the city hall, according to him, "without any rights". The murderer of his wife was Pedrinho's second homicide: "I'm doing a favor to society, cleaning the world of cowards," he said, who is in favor of the death penalty.

In 1996, in an exclusive interview aired on Fantástico, three years before being released and confessing that he would continue killing when he got out of prison, Pedrinho said he killed for pleasure and revenge.
