He asked her to leave the place, she refused and an argument ensued. Security cameras recorded part of the confusion. In them, it is possible to observe that the victim is crossing the street to another place, while the guard chases him and hits him with a tonfa, which reacts. The man tries to escape, but the security guard continues to walk towards him, with the gun in his hand. Then the guard shoots the man in the leg, who falls to the ground. The watchman leaves soon after, leaving the victim on the sidewalk. Investigations into the case led to the execution of a search and seizure warrant, in which the police found a .38 caliber revolver without adequate documentation. "He claims that the weapon had been acquired from his cousin, some time ago, in the state of Mato Grosso. It is far from being the standard expected for performance in the profession, since generally these security guards are not even allowed to carry a firearm", said police chief Leandro Stabile. After the arrest, during interrogation, the guard confirmed what happened and said he pulled out the gun after the victim "started throwing objects at him." The seized firearm will undergo forensic examination to confirm whether it was the same one used on the day of the crime.
