An off-duty Brazilian military police officer was caught on camera fatally shooting his wife after slugging her five times in the face during a fight outside their car.
The shocking video showed Brazilian soldier Thiago de Lima, 36, allegedly fire at least two shots at his wife Erika de Lima, 33, before she stumbled to the ground during the deadly encounter Sunday, according to foreign news reports.
The couple were married for about six months leading up to the argument in their car over the weekend, CNN Brasil reported.
Other parts of the surveillance footage showed the woman struggling to get the man out of the vehicle before he exited on his own and launched at her, punching her multiple times.
After the assault and shooting, Thiago jumped back into the car and started driving away, but then returned and tried to get the victim back in the car as residents came out of their homes, the footage shows.
He ended up taking his spouse to the hospital where she was pronounced dead, Brazilian outlet G1 reported.
He is facing charges for feminicide, a homicide that is tied to domestic and family violence and/disregard or discrimination against women, according to the outlet.
About a month before the shooting, Erika reportedly filed a police report over a domestic violence threat, but opted not to pursue charges against her husband.
Erika claimed in that incident Thiago lashed out at her because he was jealous after the two left a nightclub, and pointed a gun at her head once they got home, G1 reported. Thiago reportedly denied aiming the gun at her or threatening her.
The victim leaves behind two daughters from a past relationship.
