Also according to G1, a resident of the neighborhood said that Alexandre had been the victim of attacks around two months ago and had even set fire to him. “He was a super helpful and attentive person. He was homosexual, but most people respect him. It's not the first time this has happened. They set fire to it about two months ago. As the kiosk where he slept was sold, the new owner wouldn't let him stay there and, therefore, he went to live there. He was killed for being homosexual,” said professor Jorge Morais, who knew the homeless man.
