Hired killer kills three innocents in mistaken bar shooting in Sarandi, Brazil

A contract killer hired by two local drug traffickers opened fire in a bar in Sarandi, Paraná, after being given the wrong directions. Mistaking a nearby bar for the intended target, he shot four people, killing a couple and a teenage family member while a fourth patron escaped.

The killer was arrested days later at his sister's home in Balneário Camboriú, Santa Catarina. The traffickers who ordered the murder were also detained. The assailant has been transferred to a prison in Paraná and will face charges of qualified triple homicide and attempted homicide.
