A shopkeeper was shot dead inside the greengrocer's shop where he worked in the district of Mottas, in Teresópolis, in Rio's mountainous region. The crime took place at around 8pm on Thursday (16) and was recorded by the establishment's cameras.

The images show at least 19 shots fired at Luis Augusto dos Santos Oliveira, 29, known as Luizinho.

He was talking to a man at the till when he was surprised by a man who got off the back of a motorcycle, entered the establishment and pulled out a gun and shot the victim.

Even after Luizinho fell to the ground, the gunman continued firing until he discharged his weapon. He then got back on his motorcycle and fled the scene with the rider.

Last week, a 25-year-old man was the victim of an attempted murder, also in Mottas, after being shot five times. About two months ago, another murder was also recorded in the district, when a young man was shot dead in the central square.

The Civil Police said in a statement that they had been notified and are investigating the death of Luis Augusto dos Santos Oliveira and are searching for the perpetrator and motive behind the crime.
