According to the Military Police, two men on a motorcycle approached the victim as she left her uncle's house, on Raízes da Comunidade street. The main hypothesis is that the suspects tried to steal the woman's motorcycle.
Images from a security camera show the pair passing through the street and returning seconds later. Upon noticing the approach, the woman tried to start the motorcycle. The man on the back then pointed a gun and fired. The suspects fled without taking the vehicle.
The victim fell after being hit, while his son asked for help. She was rescued by the Fire Department and taken by helicopter to Hospital das Clínicas. The health status had not been reported until the publication of this text.
The SSP (state Public Security Secretariat) reported that the investigation was called and that the case was registered at the 47th Police District (Capão Redondo) as an attempted robbery.
Capão Redondo leads in robberies
Robbery records in the city of São Paulo throughout 2025 show that neighborhoods with different socioeconomic profiles, both on the outskirts and in the expanded center, are among those with the most frequent incidence of this type of crime.
Three of the ten police districts with the highest records of theft - Capão Redondo, Campo Limpo and Parque Santo Antônio - are in peripheral areas of the south zone of the capital of São Paulo. At the same time, rich neighborhoods in the west zone -Pinheiros and Perdizes- and with a diverse profile in the central region -Sé, Campos Elíseos and Pari- are also among the areas with a high incidence of robberies. The nine districts with the highest robbery rates record at least five cases per day. With the exception of Parque Santo Antônio, all had a reduction in the number of cases.
The 47th DP, in Capão Redondo, received the largest number of complaints about theft in the city of São Paulo throughout 2025. There were 3,836 cases reported throughout the year, in addition to 2,917 thefts.
In October, when the region was already emerging as the champion of robberies in the city, a Folha report showed how residents of Capão Redondo avoid walking alone through the neighborhood's streets. Subway and bus passengers are waited on by relatives or friends at the stations and form small groups to walk short distances.
