PM says there was confrontation
According to the PM version, the confrontation began when the 18 BPM teams patrolling Edgard Werneck were shot at by bandits who were in the Cidade de Deus. The agents, according to the corporation, retaliated.
– There was no PM operation at the site. The marginals rejected our armored vehicle, which has been positioned at the site to deter possible attacks. In this context, a motorcyclist was leaving the community and, due to the position of the shots, it is unlikely that he was a victim of the PM garrisons – said Colonel André Silveira, commander of 18 BPM.

In a note, the prime minister said that in addition to the DHC investigations, a Military Police Investigation (IPM) will be opened to investigate the circumstances of Marcelo’s death. Full note from the corporation:
The Press Office of the Secretary of State for Military Police reports that, on the morning of this Monday (4/1), teams from 18 BPM (Jacarepaguá), which reinforce police surveillance in the vicinity of the Cidade de Deus Community, in the West Zone of Rio, they were attacked by gunshots by criminals from the community when, based on Edgard Werneck Avenue, the police responded to the unjust attack and stopped the attack. At the time of the action, a passing motorcyclist was struck. Unfortunately, the victim did not survive the injuries.
We note that police surveillance has been reinforced in the region, including the use of an armored vehicle, since last week, with the aim of stabilizing the perimeter due to a conflict between rival criminal groups for territorial control. These days, police teams have been the target of other armed attacks by these criminals.
Currently, teams from the Second Area Police Command (CPA) are reinforcing surveillance throughout the region in support of the 18th BPM.
An Investigation of the Military Police (IPM) will be opened to determine the circumstances of the event. At the same time, the Capital Homicide Police are investigating the case. “
