CAMBUQUIRA, Brazil — It was June 12, Lover’s Day in Brazil.
Leo Nunes, 24, had spent a few days talking to someone he met on Hornet, a popular gay dating app, before arranging their first encounter in Sao Paulo’s middle-class Sacoma neighborhood. A security camera captured the moment that two men on a motorcycle showed up in the alley where he was waiting, grabbed his phone and shot him dead. The Nunes family, who shared details of the investigation with Reuters, said one suspect had been arrested.
He detailed the assault in a police report and in a group chat, both seen by Reuters, with six other men who said they had reported to law enforcement experiencing the same violent con. Police declined to comment on their cases. Gabriel said he and others had also flagged their incidents involving the same false profile to Hornet. He said the fake profile stayed online for weeks after he made his report, which Reuters could not independently verify.
