São Paulo Officer in Fatal Shooting Listed as Soldier After Pay Rule Change

Overview

• The Diário Oficial listing published Friday named Yasmin Cursino Ferreira as “Soldado PM” through a statewide rank transposition mandated by Law 18.442.
• The Military Police and the Public Security Secretariat said the move standardized pay across ranks, added about R$480 to salaries from the old 2nd class, and did not return her to street duty.
• Body-camera audio from a colleague captured the shot and a question identifying Yasmin as the shooter during the early-April stop in Cidade Tiradentes, and the medical examiner recorded acute internal hemorrhage as the cause of death.
• Dispatch records and video indicate about 30 minutes passed between the 2:59 a.m. gunshot and the ambulance’s arrival, and rescuers told TV Globo the delay worsened the victim’s condition.
• Internal affairs and the Civil Police homicide unit are investigating the shooting and the rescue response, and the case has intensified scrutiny of training, the lack of a camera on the shooter, and emergency protocols.
