Helped convict the Carcavelos shooter. Court testimony made revenge come knocking twice

SOL4 September 2026 at 19:27

A witness collaborated with justice to convict a shooter responsible for a crime in the Carcavelos area, in Portugal. The shooter was ultimately convicted but received a suspended sentence and was eventually released from custody.

In retaliation for the testimony given in court, the witness was shot. The revenge did not end there: the witness's father was also killed, apparently as a direct consequence of the testimony his son had given.

The events took place in Portuguese territory, specifically between the areas of Carcavelos and Amadora, both in the Lisbon region. The case drew attention due to the brutality of the response to the act of collaboration with justice.

The article describes the situation as resembling the plot of an episode of the television series Law & Order, emphasizing the extraordinary nature of the facts actually occurring outside of fiction.
