José Luís, a 25-year-old systems analyst from Pará, was reported missing in the Perus neighborhood of São Paulo on October 8. His disappearance followed a meeting to negotiate the sale of his vehicle with an individual who reportedly identified as a lawyer and automotive investor. No payment was made for the car, and the buyer's identity was unknown to the family.

On October 22, the body of José Luís da Costa Oliveira was discovered in a wooded area in Guarujá. His lawyer, Bianca Santiago, noted that the advanced state of decomposition makes determining the cause of death difficult, though she stated the location of the body suggests the possibility of suicide. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the case.
