A black, female, lgbt city counselor was shot dead in Rio last night.

A black, female, lgbt city counselor that came from a poor neighborhood and used her position to defend all those causes was shot dead in Rio last night.

They fired 9 times towards her car. They hit her in the head more than once. 

A city counselor was shot dead in Rio last night, with more than one gunshot to her head. Her driver, too, shot in the back. 

A city counselor that had just created a way to investigate on the military intervention in Rio last week - a city counselor that had just unveiled yet more cases of police violence - was assassinated in Rio last night.

Her name is Marielle Franco.

She was the 5th most voted city counselor in Rio’s 2016 elections.

She fought hard and deeply for all human rights, for her own people.

She was calling attention to every despicable thing the military and police were doing in poor neighborhoods, to all the young poor black people being murdered.

She was was an important voice. She was an activist.

She was executed in cold blood after leaving an event called “Young black women moving the structures”.

Her voice is echoing through all of our voices now.
