Overview
- A farm worker discovered the bodies of influencer Ulissias Marcelli, 30, and her boyfriend Vinícius Souza de Carvalho, 28, on a rural roadside in Porto Seguro in mid‑July.
- Forensic teams recovered seven spent 9mm cartridge cases and two projectiles at the scene and officers seized Marcelli’s mobile phone for analysis.
- Civil Police say the couple may have been held captive before being shot, a line of inquiry that investigators are treating as central to the probe.
- Authorities are examining whether the slayings are linked to drug‑trafficking activity or related debts, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been made.
- Marcelli, a fire performer and former local beauty queen with roughly 20,000 Instagram followers, was due to appear at the Rock Gaya Festival and leaves a 13‑year‑old son, a loss that has prompted local tributes and raised concerns about violence targeting event workers and influencers.
