Woman killed in the East Zone of Teresina was a member of the PCC and was pregnant, police say

Portal O Dia15 September 2026 at 12:09

A woman identified as Ellen Camila was killed in the East Zone of Teresina. The victim was a member of the PCC (First Command of the Capital), a criminal faction that operates within the Brazilian prison system and has branches in several states.

According to police information, Ellen Camila was pregnant at the time of the assassination. The motive for the crime is still being investigated by the authorities.

The police revealed that the victim had argued with another member of the same faction shortly before being assassinated. This detail may indicate that the argument is related to the crime.

The case is under investigation to clarify the complete circumstances of the assassination and determine the responsibilities of those involved in the crime.

Why this matters

The case reveals the presence and internal functioning of the PCC faction in Teresina, raising concerns about violence linked to organized crime in the capital of Piauí. The possibility that the assassination may be related to disputes between members of the faction itself suggests that internal conflicts may also represent a risk for residents of the region.
