A young mum has died after being shot in the head when her pals and her neighbour shot up each other’s homes in a row about a noisy party.

The shooting happened after Wallace Silvio Rodrigues, whose age was not given, complained that his neighbour Larissa Aciole da Silva, 25, was being too loud, and he used a gun to fire at her home in Sarandi, a Brazilian municipality in the state of Parana on 2nd December.

Larissa was inside smoking a hookah pipe with friends and two days later, on 4th December, Rodrigues’ house was attacked by her friends, who also opened fire in a revenge shooting.

Rodrigues then retaliated to that, allegedly firing shots at her house while she was inside with her mother and her 18-month-old son.

Larissa was taken to hospital in a serious condition after one of the bullets hit her in the head, and she died a day later.

Rodrigues has since gone on the run and the police are still looking for him.

Rodrigues’ father, who has not been named, has been arrested on suspicion of having participated in the crime.

Police deputy Adriano Garcia said the father had encouraged his son to retaliate.

He said: “The suspect’s father arrived with a backpack and encouraged his son to shoot at the victim’s house.”

The police have urged the public to come forwards with any information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect.
