De Andrade, 24, was reportedly hit in the back by five of the 10 shots fired by the suspect.

He was taken to a local hospital but didn’t survive his injuries in the early hours of Monday (30 Sept).

The police say the pair began arguing in a nightclub and later in the bar.

The perpetrator allegedly left the scene and returned with the murder weapon.

De Andrade had been chatting to some people outside the bar and was just starting to leave when the suspect returned and opened fire.

One man the rapper had been chatting to went over to intervene but was threatened by the gunman.

According to police chief Marcelo Prado, when De Andrade arrived at the nightclub, he greeted a woman, who kissed him on the cheek.

This allegedly made the suspect, who was with the woman, jealous and led to the argument in Carapicuíba, west of São Paulo, Brazil.

The suspect has been identified as Rodrigo Bueno.

He fled after the shooting and is currently being sought by the police.

De Andrade was a “favela funk” rapper who went by the stage name MC Vini VL.
