The Brazilian media have just shed light on a violent altercation that broke out on the night of May 6 to 7 in a bar in Porto Alegre. Turns out the victim happens to be Mauro Chaulet, a 36-year-old Brazilian MMA fighter. He died that night after being shot by a Brazilian military police officer. According to an incident report shared by Radio Guaiba, the victim was alongside his partner, who survived after being shot twice in the stomach.
The altercation would have taken shape after an argument between the latter and a woman accompanying the military police officer, who was not on duty at the time of the events. So far, reports from the investigation do not indicate who fired the first shot. But Mauro Chaulet took the officer’s gun to shoot him in the groin, and received a fatal bullet in the back.
“The brutal violence in Brazil is repeated every day”
The MMA fighter still tried to leave the scene by car, and quickly hit another vehicle. Mauro Chaulet’s wife and the police officer, both affected, are said to be in stable condition in a hospital in Porto Alegre.
The 36-year-old fighter, who was known to the courts for various disputes (attacks on the physical integrity of others, criminal organization and use of false documents), received a tribute message from Team Goat Management , who represented him on the MMA circuit: “Unfortunately, we have lost another great person to the brutal violence in Brazil that is repeated every day. You were special and you will never be forgotten. »
