Lázaro Barbosa de Sousa (August 27, 1988 – June 28, 2021) was a Brazilian fugitive criminal, wanted for murder, rape, home invasion, and kidnapping.

On June 9, 2021, he murdered four people from the same family in Ceilândia and began fleeing from the police, a well-known manhunt in Brazil that lasted 20 days.

Criminal history

He was arrested in Bahia in 2007 for double-homicide, but escaped ten days later, and moved to the Federal District.[1] Two years later, he was arrested again in Brasília and sent to Papuda prison, this time he was convicted of theft, rape, and illegal possession of a firearm.[2] In 2013, a team of doctors concluded that he has serious mental issues, and described Lázaro as impulsive, anxious, mentally unstable, and with "sexual worries".[2] During Easter of 2016, he again escaped after being temporarily allowed to leave prison.[3]

In 2018, he was recaptured but escaped again.

Timeline of 2021 criminal activities

June 9, 2021

On June 9, 2021, Lázaro invaded a smallholding located in Incra 9, in the city of Ceilândia, where he murdered Cláudio Vidal, 48 years old, and his sons Gustavo Marques Vidal, 21 years old and Carlos Eduardo Marques Vidal. While he was running away, he took Cleonice Marques, 43 years old, with him, she was the wife and mother of the deceased.

Before being kidnapped, Cleonice managed to contact her brother and alert him about her situation. Cleonice's brother went to her house and called the police, hoping to find his sister alive.[4][5] Police officers would later locate the remains of Cleonice on June 12.

June 10

On the following day, Lázaro broke into another smallholding, three kilometers away from the one he had broken into previously, keeping as hostages the owner and the caretaker of the house for three hours. While there, he forced the owner to cook for him while he boasted about his previous crime, which was already getting media coverage. Lázaro also forced the victims to drink and do drugs with him. After that, he ran away taking cellphones, a jacket and 200 reais with him. This time, he did not kill nor hurt anyone.[4][6]

June 11

Lázaro stole a car in Ceilândia and then drove to Cocalzinho de Goiás, in the neighboring state of Goiás, where he arsoned the car to make it harder for police to follow him. A partner aided him in his escape.[4][7]

June 12

On June 12, he invaded a smallholding and held a caretaker hostage, and forced the man to drink with him, on this day he did not rob nor hurt the caretaker.[8]

On this day, police intelligence discovered some places he had used as a hideout, police officers also located the remains of Cleonice, the woman he had kidnapped on June 9.[9]

On the same night, Lázaro broke into another smallholding. Three persons were inside the house, they fought back and were shot, all three were wounded, and two were left in critical condition. After shooting the house occupants, Lázaro fled taking two guns from the smallholding. Later, on the same day, he arsoned a house and exchanged fire with the police, but managed to evade them.[10][4]

June 13

Lázaro evaded police, stole a parked car, and drove for 30 km until coming close to a barrier set up by the police, then he abandoned the car and ran away by foot to the woods where he kept hiding.[4]

June 14

During June 14, there were no registers about Lázaro's movements around the region, a farm caretaker allegedly exchanged fire with the criminal and said he shot and wounded Lázaro in the dawn between 14 and 15 June. Police did not investigate if the caretaker's account was true. The caretaker was not hurt during the shootout.[11]

June 15

Lázaro was found by rural patrollers who were participating in the siege for him after he attacked a family, he exchanged fire with the police and nicked a police officer, the officer fled to a hospital and recovered quickly. Lázaro was apparently unharmed, thus discrediting the story told by the caretaker. The Public Security Secretariat could not inform if Lázaro was injured during the shootout.[12][13]

June 16

Lázaro was spotted by inhabitants of Cocalzinho de Goiás. After being spotted, he invaded a house where there were three persons, subjugating two of the three victims. One of the hostages, a teenager, contacted the police while hiding in a bedroom. The house was under police surveillance and Lázaro broke into the house after the departure of the officers.[14][15]

Lázaro found the teenager and took the three hostages to the woods, where he destroyed their phones. When he noticed the police helicopters surrounding him, he set the hostages free and ran away. Authorities suspect that Lázaro spent the night in an abandoned smallholding, after finding signs of recent home invasions and a blood-stained shirt, which meant that Lázaro might have been hurt or that he had hunted an animal recently.[15][16]

June 17

Lázaro and the police exchange fire during a siege in Cocalzinho de Goiás rural zone. The shootout left some men injured, but no further information was published.[17]

June 18

Lázaro was spotted in a sty during a siege in Girassóis district, but he managed to evade the police.[18] Public Security secretary, Rodney Miranda, allegedly saw Lázaro in a valley a kilometer away from him.[19]

June 19

Lázaro was supposedly seen hiding in a cave around Águas Lindas de Goiás, a city near Federal District, which prompted the police to search for him in the vicinity.[20] Investigations later concluded that this information was false.[21]

June 24

After searches, the secretary of Public Security said in a press conference that the police had arrested two men who were supposedly helping Lázaro escape.[22] They were the farmer Elmir Caetano Evangelista and the caretaker Alain Reis dos Santos.[23] According to Alain's testimony to the police, Lázaro slept for five days on Elmir's house, and had lunch and dinner there. Alain also said that Elmir would call Lázaro by shouting to the woods.[24][25] Elmir, nonetheless, according to his defense, denied everything, and said that he was just kidding when he shouted for Lázaro.[26]

June 26

On this day, the police revealed that Lázaro had created a fake Facebook profile that went by the name of "Patrik Sousa", probably to follow the news around him. The account was created from a stolen phone that the criminal kept with him between June 15 and 18.[27]

Death

On June 28, the governor of Goiás, Ronaldo Caiado, announced that Lázaro had been arrested.[28] He was found at his ex-mother-in-law's house.[29] He died during a shootout with the police after being surrounded and shot back.[30]
