This CCTV footage shows a teenage influencer calmly getting into her ex’s car shortly before he allegedly shot her dead and then turned the gun on himself.
The police say that victim Micaelly dos Santos Lara was shot dead by her ex-boyfriend in Hortolandia, Brazil, on 15th May.
This newly-released CCTV footage shows the 19-year-old getting into suspect David Aparecido da Silva Alves’s car in the afternoon.
It is the last known footage of her alive.
According to chief detective Jose Regino from the Women’s Defence Police Station in Hortolandia, Micaelly got into the car at 1.10pm.
Around 20 minutes later, Alves fired the fatal shots.
The former couple’s bodies were found in the evening following a report about a vehicle parked for a long time with its engine running.
Regino has now revealed that an incident report was filed against Alves on 20th April during a trip with Micaelly to Guaruja.
On that occasion, the Municipal Guard was called after the couple fought on the beach.
Micaelly told the officers that Alves had broken her mobile phone. The officers found drugs on him, and he also allegedly disrespected them.
Micaelly had over one million followers on social media, where she went by the nickname “Japa”.
She would regularly post funny videos or clips of herself dancing or working out at the gym for her Instagram and TikTok followers.
Some of her videos were recorded with her new boyfriend, Vinny Pollo, who said in a social media post: “I hope she’s in a good place, the place she deserves to be. An incredible person, caring, liked to help, had many dreams.”
According to Vinny, Micaelly’s ex-boyfriend had not come to terms with the breakup and would send her messages every day.
Alves had even allegedly gone to Vinny’s house looking for Micaelly days before the crime.
Vinny said in a video: “I told her, ‘This guy is a psychopath, this guy is crazy, if I were you, I would leave, go to the beach, I don’t know, stay away for a while because this guy wants to harm you.’ You could see he was crazy, he came here very calm, very confident.”
The Civil Police have registered the case as femicide followed by suicide.
