José was a father to a seven-year-old son and was separated from the child’s mother.

He was a member of Cruzeiro’s Máfia Azul de Sete Lagoas fan club, which was ambushed by a group of Palmeiras ultras.

The Cruzeiro fans were returning from Curitiba, in Paraná, where the team had lost 3-0 to Atlético Paranaense.
