The news outlet Olhar Direto reported a slightly different version of events from other media, stating that the gunmen arrived at the scene in a pickup truck and told the mother to put the baby on the ground before opening fire.

Olhar Direto also reports that Do Prado had a criminal record for drug trafficking and was being investigated for two counts of robbery and that Alixandre had previously been arrested for receiving stolen goods.

According to Olhar Direto, the Child Protective Services took the baby boy to hospital in the city of Rondonopolis to receive treatment for an injury he sustained when he was placed on the ground.
