A Military Police of the Federal District (PMDF) soldier, Bruno Cardoso dos Passos, was arrested in Brasília after a shooting in a van on Sunday morning. The incident occurred near a gas station in Asa Sul around 3:40 a.m. while a group of approximately 16 people was returning from a birthday celebration.
According to reports, the officer opened fire after a series of disputes, including an argument with his wife and a disagreement with a passenger, Alessandra da Silva Oliveira Andrade. The shooting resulted in the death of the 26-year-old woman and left four other people wounded, including the officer's wife and another police officer who was shot in the head and remains in serious condition.
The PMDF has initiated an administrative process to expel the 27-year-old soldier from the corporation, citing irregular conduct that affects the honor of the class. The officer, who joined the PMDF in January 2026, told investigators he does not remember the events. The case is currently under investigation by the Civil Police of the Federal District.
