Ferreira, of Madeiran parents from Câmara de Lobos, lived for ten years in Mariara, in Carabobo state.

My words are drowning in tears,” said Daniel de Jesús Ferreira, brother of the priest, who emigrated to Madeira with his parents in 2017.
“Like many, we fled from the crisis that plagues our country. It was not just an economic problem, it was a social problem, we were very afraid of crime. They killed him to steal him. I always fought for him to come to Madeira, but he never wanted to. He said his mission was in Venezuela “, stressed the brother.
The version of a young man who was in the church at the time of the murder says that the priest died because he was protecting some parishioners. “He was always a human being and an exceptional servant, for me he was always like my father.”
