Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu superstar Leandro Lo has died after a shooting at a concert in São Paulo, BR on Sunday.
Brazilian news outlet G1 was among the first to report the news of Lo’s death.
According to police, Lo, 33, got into an altercation during the early morning hours on Sunday. Tensions rose after the suspect, police officer Henrique Otávio Oliveira Velozo, allegedly grabbed a bottle from Lo’s table at the venue.
After a brief scuffle and separation, Velozo allegedly pulled out a gun and shot Lo in the head. The BJJ legend was taken to a nearby hospital but was pronounced deceased just hours later.
Local police are pursuing Velozo, who is on the run, and are asking the public to help give any details on his current whereabouts.
