Brazilian authorities are searching for a man who was captured on camera shooting dead his former girlfriend outside her home on Sunday.

Thais Silva, 27, was expecting to meet her ex-boyfriend Osmar de Sousa, 36, in front of her home in the Federal District town of Sobradinho, where the suspect was to drop of their two-year-old daughter, according to online news portal G1.

Surveillance footage showed Silva walking to her apartment complex’s entrance gate. The former couple appeared to exchange words as Silva stepped out to the sidewalk.

De Sousa then fired three shots at Silva, sending her tumbling backwards and falling in the courtyard.

He then stood over her and fired a fourth shot, which appeared to strike her in the head.

The security camera showed de Sousa taking off in a vehicle, which was found abandoned at a supermarket parking lot.

Investigators said de Sousa left his daughter at his brother’s home before he executed Silva, who worked for the Department of Health as a dental hygienist.

De Sousa’s brother was not considered a person of interest in the investigation, according to police chief Hudson Maldonado.

‘Nothing indicates that the brother knew about the grisly plan,’ Maldonado said.

De Sousa was arrested in 2016 on a domestic violence charge from a relationship he had with a woman prior to meeting Silva. 

De Sousa and Silva dated for five years, but he was not happy with the way their relationship ended five months ago.

Silva feared for her well-being, but never reported de Sousa to the police.
