Ex girl friend Yorraly Ferreira had gotten involved with gangsters of a rival gang and thus angered him enough to be punished with a deadly shot.
He sent a recording of the crime to friends and enemies. He thus demonstrated his power and made clear he should not be messed with. Yorraly Ferreira’s actual boyfriend posted the photo of her corpse on his FaceBook page "Rest in peace, my love". Thus the name of confessed killer Henrique Aquino dos Santos’s became known, even though the law assures an underage criminal’s anonymity, and his photos can not be shown.

Children can make career in organized crime, as executioners and murderers. The liberal law guarantees them virtual impunity. Here is an especially extreme case:
