SÃO PAULO, SP (FOLHAPRESS) - The cell phone of Lieutenant Ronickson Pimentel dos Santos, 39, shot in the head on Saturday (27) when he stopped his motorcycle at a traffic light in São Caetano do Sul, in ABC São Paulo, has not yet reached the hands of those responsible for the investigation.

The report found that, until this Friday afternoon (3), agents from the DHPP (Department of Homicide and Personal Protection) of the Civil Police had no knowledge of the whereabouts of the device, considered a fundamental piece in the attempt to clarify the attack against the lieutenant.

After being shot, the police officer remained lying on the asphalt of Goiás Avenue, the city's main avenue. After stabilizing on the ground, he was transported by Águia helicopter to the Mário Covas State Hospital, in Santo André, where he remains hospitalized.

The Civil Police say they have identified the suspect who shot the police officer. Known by the nickname Goliath, he was temporarily detained by the courts.

For the investigation, he was the passenger on a motorcycle that paired with the lieutenant's at the time of the crime; then the two occupants fled. Goliath is wanted by the Civil and Military police.

Two other men are arrested on suspicion of indirect involvement in the crime. As Folha de S.Paulo showed, three men were killed in Rota actions during the search for suspects in the crime. The actions began after anonymous complaints.

The Tarcísio de Freitas (Republianos) administration remains cautious in stating that they have any involvement in the case.

The interventions took place between Monday (29) and Thursday (2) after anonymous reports about the whereabouts of suspects involved in the attempted murder against the lieutenant.

The deaths occurred in the area of the 53rd DP (Parque do Carmo) and the 68th DP (Lageado), both in the east zone of São Paulo, and in Peruíbe, on the coast of São Paulo. In the three police reports there are direct mentions of the attempted murder against Lieutenant Pimentel.

The most recent case occurred on the coast. According to the police report, the police went to Peruíbe on Thursday night after receiving an anonymous tip about the whereabouts of a man known as Galego.

The complaint mentioned his involvement with a criminal organization and alleged participation in the attack on the lieutenant.

Galego would be in a Chevrolet Montana pickup truck. During the searches, the vehicle was located, and the suspect fled to Cuiabá Street, where an exchange of gunfire occurred, according to the bulletin.

Shot, he was taken to the UPA in Peruíbe, where he died. According to police, two rifle shots and three pistol shots were fired during the confrontation.

Galego, identified as Elenilson Misael da Silva, was carrying a pistol, according to the police report. The case was registered at the Peruíbe police station as death resulting from police intervention, illegal possession of a permitted firearm, location/seizure of a vehicle and self-defense. According to the report, Elenilson Misael da Silva had no prior experience with the police.

In a statement, the SSP (Public Security Secretariat) reported that, despite the complaint, so far there is no evidence of the man's involvement in the attack on the lieutenant, who is the brother of Eloá Pimentel, killed in 2008 by her boyfriend.
