Story summary

Evelyn Lima Dantas, a 21-year-old Brazilian influencer with over 24,000 followers, was dragged from her home early Wednesday morning in Mãe do Rio, Brazil, and executed by two men. The shooters then spray-painted the letters "TCP" on her house before fleeing, suggesting involvement of the Terceiro Comando Puro (TCP), a major criminal gang in Rio de Janeiro. Dantas was being investigated for aiding in the murder of 56-year-old retired police officer Antonio Anildo Alves da Silva on July 29, and had been released from custody just weeks prior on September 9. Her death raised suspicions among authorities that it could be retaliation or an attempt to destroy evidence related to her arrest earlier this year for suspected drug trafficking activities with TCP.
