According to the Civil Police, the girl was shot at home after receiving a visit from her friend, who was in the same class at school. The teenager was apprehended. 

According to Folha de S. PaulThe young woman fired a single shot at the victim and returned home. After putting the pistol in a drawer, she went to school, where she was found by the police. According to investigators, the weapon has a serial number and is registered.
