This is a sad one. Lots of Brazil deaths, but these people look like older, nerdy computer geeks, and not some low level drug dealer. The logo on the car is of some software company. The long dark haired lady of the women is the wife, she looks somewhat younger than sixty though. The article says "robber" but obviosly this was an assassination. I tried to find out the motive, but there's no news on that. The shooter starts shooting before the victim even reaches for his gun. Maybe it's just a Brazil thing, but maybe his having a gun meant he had threatened already.

This one is a sad one. You can see the guy who dies square up and take 2 shots at nothing as he fades out. Must be one hell of a hallucination.
