The boy who was shot was identified as Jonatas Bruno da Silva Jesus, also known as “John.”
Local residents “swarmed” the streets and recorded the moment the blood-covered suspect was put into the car and rescued by military police officers.
In the video, the photographer can still be heard saying that “the police enter the neighborhood just like this, and they actually shoot,” while recording the situation and the protest with the community.
