In early July 2026, Goiás police opened investigations into a series of murders and severe assaults targeting local businessmen, signalling a rising wave of violent disputes in the region. By early August, detailed reports described two high‑profile attacks: in Anápolis, Goiás, a man was severely injured after a group of about 30 delivery riders stormed his home following a food‑order disagreement; and in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, a businessman was beaten and intubated after a debt‑collection confrontation at a gasoline station. These incidents illustrate the continuation and escalation of violent confrontations linked to commercial and personal disputes across Goiás and neighboring São Paulo.
