A gossip column influencer has been shot dead after posting about her ex.
Flavia Pereira Damaceno was standing outside a friend’s house when two men arrived on a blue motorbike and opened fire.
The 23-year-old was killed on the spot.
Her 16-year-old friend was grazed on the shoulder by a bullet, but managed to run indoors for cover.
Flavia, who ran a local gossip page on social media, was struck six times by .40-calibre bullets.
The suspects reportedly continued to shoot the victim after she fell to the ground.
The alleged murder took place in Arinos, located east of Brasilia, Brazil, as reported by Need To Know.
The police suspect her death may have been motivated by an online row with her ex-boyfriend, named as Samuel Sirqueira dos Santos.
Hours before her death, the victim reportedly exposed personal details about her ex, and made offensive remarks about him and his family.
The post sparked an intense exchange between the two on the victim’s gossip page.
The police identified Pablo Daniel Gomes da Silva as the possible alleged shooter.
He is the brother of Samuel’s current girlfriend.
According to the authorities, investigators found Pablo playing pool in a nearby bar with a blue motorbike parked outside.
The vehicle matched the description left by witnesses and the engine was still warm.
The motorbike’s owner, identified only as Andre, admitted that he lent it to Pablo just before the shooting.
Pablo, who remains in police custody, reportedly admitted to using the motorbike at the time of the crime, but denied being the shooter.
The police are searching for Samuel who allegedly fled town.
The investigation continues.
