The discovery took place three days after the death of Jeferson Rosa dos Reis, “Jefinho”, one of the criminals named as executors of Marquini’s will.
He was a member of the Comando Vermelho (CV), worked in the Tabajaras region and had a long criminal record, with records of theft, homicide, drug trafficking, theft and criminal organization.
Jefinho was on the run from justice and was neutralized during a confrontation with the Core teams.
Investigations carried out by the Capital Police Station (DHC) had already technically proven the direct participation of Jefinho in the execution of the civilian police officer.
According to the unit, the criminal fired several shots at the officer during the action.

Trafficker Alexandre Costa de Oliveira, known as “Preá”, who also participated in the ambush and shot the police officer, is still on the run. Police are continuing their efforts to find the criminal.
