Evelyn Lima Dantas, Brazilian influencer, executed in Pará

Influencer Evelyn Lima Dantas, 21, was executed by gunfire in the early hours of Wednesday in Mãe do Rio, Pará. According to police reports, at least two armed men invaded her residence, forced her father to the ground, and dragged the victim outside where she was shot multiple times.

Before fleeing in a vehicle, the assailants spray-painted the acronym ‘TCP’ on the house, which refers to the Terceiro Comando Puro, a criminal organization originating in Rio de Janeiro. Authorities are investigating whether the murder was an act of retaliation or a cover-up.

Dantas had been released on provisional liberty only days prior. She was a person of interest in the investigation regarding the July murder of retired police sergeant Antônio Anildo Alves da Silva. Investigators are examining if her death is directly linked to her potential involvement or information provided during that case.
