A man was shot dead Saturday evening in Bento Ribeiro, in the northern zone of Rio, after an attempted robbery. The crime took place in Manágua Square and mobilized teams of military police, civil police and firefighters. The residents were afraid.

Residents in the area say they are surprised by the crime, as it was not possible to hear the sound of gunshots Saturday evening.
— Yesterday, I left the house a little later because there was a show that started later. I was scared, there was a dead man on the ground, military and civilian police vehicles and they said he had been shot. I even sent a message to the group of neighbors, but no one listened either — said a resident.
The victim was identified as Cristopher Philip Alves Ferra, 37. The expertise was requested and carried out on site, and the case was under the responsibility of the Capital Homicide Police Station (DHC), which is investigating the circumstances of the crime.
