Translated to English:
A 36-year-old woman, identified as Bianca Santos Villaça Caetano, was the victim of an attempted murder and was shot more than 10 times in Jardim Sulacap, in the west zone of Rio.
The victim was attacked as she left her home with her husband and son. Images circulating on social media show the woman getting into a car while a man closes the gate to the property, accompanied by at least one child.
Then, a dark car approaches, the driver gets out and fires a series of shots at the video from the passenger window, where the victim was.
Then, the hooded criminal opens the car door and shoots several more times. By this point, the man, who appeared to be heading for the driver's seat, is crouched behind the vehicle with the child.
According to the Rio Health Department, Bianca was admitted to the Albert Schweitzer Municipal Hospital, in Realengo, around 7 pm, where she remains in serious condition.
The victim is believed to be a police officer's cousin. The man who accompanied her has already testified. The main line of investigation is attempted murder, as nothing was taken from the victim.
The incident was initially registered by the 30th DP (Marechal Hermes), but is being investigated by the 33rd DP (Realengo), which is investigating the circumstances of the crime.
