A black man was beaten and killed by two white men in Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul, this Thursday night (19), the eve of Black Awareness Day (this Friday 20). João Alberto Silveira Freitas, 40, was beaten in a Carrefour supermarket unit. The images of the attack were recorded and disseminated on social networks (see video above)

The two suspects, one 24 and the other 30, were arrested on the spot. One of them is a military policeman and was transferred to a military prison. The other is a security store and is located in a Civil Police building. It is unclear whether the prime minister involved in the assault worked as a security guard at Carrefour.

The Military Brigade found that there was a disagreement between the victim and an employee of the supermarket, which is located in the North Zone of the state capital.

Freitas was taken from the cashier area to the entrance of the store and, according to the Civil Police, had started the fight after beating the PM. Later, Freitas was beaten.

A team from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU) tried to revive the man, but he died on the spot.

The crime is being investigated by the Homicide and Personal Protection Police (DHPP) in Porto Alegre.

The video of the attack has been circulating on social networks since the end of the night. The police will analyze the images from the posted video and also from the site’s security cameras.

Carrefour said it deeply regrets the case and has launched a rigorous internal investigation and has taken steps to ensure that those responsible are legally punished.
