Twin sisters were fatally shot in Brazil, and the gang-related double execution was live-streamed on Instagram.
The disturbing footage shows 18-year-old Amalia and Amanda Alves getting shot in the back of their heads. They were discovered on the side of a road behind a housing complex in Ceará, Brazil. Just hours after they were killed.
Video footage captured the sisters’ harrowing final moments as they knelt next to each other on the dirty road.
Reports say the pair were forced to gather their hair up in a bun before Abreu allegedly took the gun to the back of their skulls and fired the fatal bullets.
He is then accused of blasting two more shots at one of the sisters before standing over the other victim and firing another four bullets at her limp body.
Authorities haven’t provided a motive for the killings, but sources say, the sisters were killed because they knew too much about incidents involving local drug dealers.
Residents in the area alerted police after the bodies of the young women were discovered behind a housing complex in Pacajus, Ceara, last Wednesday, hours after they were killed.

Police arrested 17-year-old Mateus Abreu later that day.
Brazilian newspaper Diario do Noreste reported the suspect had seven prior arrests in 2020 and 2021. They included unlawful possession of a gun, theft, and intentional bodily injury.
Amalia Alves was the mother of a six-month-old son while her sister, Amanda, leaves behind a three-year-old daughter.
It comes just a month after a family of four was brutally murdered in the South American country.
Cops identified Lázaro Barbosa as a suspect in the grim case where a dad and his two sons, ages 15 and 21, were killed in their home before his wife was kidnapped and found dead three days later.
