Security camera footage shows influencer Nino Abravanel, 18, and his brother, 20, moments before the death of 32-year-old construction worker Tarcisio Gomes da Silva. The two are being investigated for the man’s murder and are considered fugitives.
The crime was allegedly motivated by revenge. According to police, Deivis Elizeu Costa Silva (Nino’s real name) and Derik Elias Costa Silva committed the murder after Tarcisio assaulted their grandfather, who died after failing to resist his injuries.
The images obtained by the Civil Police show moments before the crime, when the brothers stopped their car on a street in the South Zone of the capital of São Paulo. Although there is no recording of the shots, forensics confirmed that the man died from 11 shots.

Investigation
The case is being investigated by the Department of Homicide and Protection of the Person (DHPP). Authorities are also investigating whether the influencer’s followers would have sent information that may have helped the brothers locate Tarcisio.
These people should be summoned to provide clarifications. The police ask that anyone who has any information that could help locate the brothers call the Disque Denunciation, at the number 181. No identification is required.
The defense of Nino and Derik deny involvement in the crime. The lawyers say the suspicions are unfounded and based on assumptions, and that there is no concrete evidence to prove their participation in the murder. They also say that the request for temporary detention is unfair and disproportionate.
