The victim's sister, Kellyane Alves, described the situation as a “tragedy.” She said:

Eumar was rescued and taken to the Regional Hospital of Ceilândia (HRC), where he underwent emergency surgery. The sister reported that, according to the doctors, one of the stabs pierced his lung. Unfortunately, the fan did not survive the injuries and passed away in the early hours of Monday.

“My brother was a good man, very loved by everyone. [On the day of his death] he was just enjoying his passion, which was Vasco, he wasn't harming anyone,” lamented Kellyane.
