Brazilian musician Evaldo Rosa dos Santos was executed while driving his car with his family in the poor Rio de Janeiro district of Guadalupe. Army soldiers mistook dos Santos for a criminal. A total of 257 rifle and pistol shots were fired, of which 83 hit the car and 9 hit Santos.
Luciano Macedo, who worked as a recyclable waste picker, was passing by with his wife. They were looking for pieces of wood to build a shack because she was pregnant and needed a roof. He saw dos Santos’s family panicking and ran to help them. The musician’s family survived, but Macedo too was shot dead by the military.
