A 25-year-old Brazilian influencer, Maria Katiane Gomes da Silva, was found dead after falling from a tenth-floor apartment in São Paulo on November 29, 2025. Her husband, Alex Leandro Bispo dos Santos, initially claimed she jumped after an argument, but neighbors reported screams, prompting police to treat the death as suspicious.
Surveillance footage later showed violent assaults moments before the fall, directly contradicting his story. Authorities, including São Paulo’s homicide division, arrested dos Santos on femicide charges as investigations continue, while da Silva’s family and supporters demand justice, highlighting broader concerns about domestic violence and systemic failures in protecting women.
