São Paulo Engineer Murdered in Home Invasion Robbery A tragic incident occurred in São Paulo, Brazil on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, when 57-year-old engineer Francisco Filippo was murdered during a robbery at his home in the affluent Jardim Paulista neighborhood. Police reports indicate that at least four individuals, using a cloned access control, entered Filippo's residence through the garage around 7:20 PM. Despite Filippo's non-resistance, he was shot and killed, and the perpetrators escaped with an unspecified amount of jewelry. Filippo's wife and 5-year-old son arrived home shortly after the crime. "They disabled the interior cameras," a police spokesperson stated, "but our investigation is aided by footage from the exterior cameras." The suspects' getaway vehicle, a Hyundai HB20, was later found abandoned in the nearby Moema neighborhood. Police are investigating whether this incident is connected to other high-profile home invasions in the area. The incident underscores the ongoing challenges of home security and violent crime, even in affluent areas of São Paulo. The police investigation is ongoing, and the community is left to grapple with the loss of a respected member and the fear generated by such a brazen crime.
