A tragic incident unfolded in Brazil as a recent widower and personal trainer, Giovanny Diniz Carvalho, 36, was shot dead by a masked gunman in front of his young daughter. This devastating event occurred just months after his wife’s untimely death in a freak accident.
Security footage captured the harrowing moment when Carvalho, shirtless and wearing sweatpants, tried to escape the masked gunman as he was leaving his home in Petrolina, Brazil. The assailant, dressed in an orange jacket and sneakers, fired multiple shots at close range as Carvalho flailed and kicked in a desperate attempt to survive.
The fatal attack came to an end when the gunman seemingly shot Carvalho in the back of the head while he lay on the pavement. A woman rushed out of a nearby house to check on Carvalho’s condition before the footage cut off.
According to witnesses, the brutal execution took place in front of Carvalho’s eldest daughter, who witnessed the tragic event unfold. His two younger children, a 2-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy, were asleep during the incident.
A 35-year-old military police officer was arrested in connection with the shooting, as reported by CNN Brasil.
The motive for the brutal slaying is currently under investigation, and the officer involved has not been publicly named.
Tragically, Carvalho’s death occurred less than a year after his wife, personal trainer Aila Pimenta, passed away from an electric shock at their home.
Carvalho, who was a single father to their three children, had been balancing his career as a personal trainer with his parental responsibilities.
The investigation into this tragic loss will be conducted by the Civil Police, according to CNN Brasil.
