Upon noticing the police approaching, the suspect fled, jumping over fences and backyards. The police ordered a stop and began a pursuit, culminating in the arrest of Darcifran with a loaded 9mm pistol and two magazines containing, in total, 35 restricted-use pistol ammunition.
Investigations showed that the suspect was providing security at the home of a local faction leader. The military continued the investigations and discovered that the perpetrators of the football player’s murder were in the indicated house. An operation was launched, ending in the arrest of Francivaldo Barroso Chaves, known as avocado, accused of being the person behind Thiago’s execution.
When carrying out research through the judicial system, the police discovered that Avocado had an arrest warrant issued by the Acre justice system against him. Continuing the search, the police discovered the whereabouts of two adults, identified as Andrey Borges de Melo and Kauã Cristian Almeida Nascimento, all with direct involvement in Thiago’s death. Three other teenagers were also apprehended.
During investigations, the police discovered that Thiago had recently lived in Rio Branco, and was invited to participate in a party at another player’s house in the Santa Inês neighborhood. Abacate suspected that it would be a party for members of a rival faction and ordered those mentioned to go to the place, and when they took Thiago’s cell phone, they discovered that he had taken a photo indicating that he was from a criminal organization, which was the reason for his death. . One person is still being sought for direct involvement in the homicide.
In view of the facts, the firearm was seized and all the accused were taken to the Flagrantes Police Station, and are now at the disposal of justice.
