[4] Lopes was accosted by two members of the criminal faction who controlled Vila Cruzeiro and most of the Complexo do Alemão (often just referred to as "o Complexo"), André da Cruz Barbosa and Maurício de Lima Matias. [4][13] Lopes won a Brazilian journalism award called the Prêmio Abril de Jornalismo in both 1985 and 1986 for feature stories involving football in the sports magazine Placar.[8]. Lopez had previous run-ins with law enforcement, according to his family, and his mother said he was afraid of police. [10] A consistent theme of Tim Lopes's reporting was to show how low-income citizens living within Rio's favelas could be subjected to terror and powerlessness under the 'law of the traffickers. Several Globo cameras were filming the entire episode from different angles, which was shown during the report (a black bar covered a portion of the frame at the moment the boy was killed). [3] He spent the 2013 season with the Clinton LumberKings, hitting .272/.315/.344/.659 with 1 home run and 33 RBI. During the course of the investigation, Lopes witnessed a dramatic scene which was all caught on camera: A group of teenagers mug a pedestrian couple in Rio's Centro business district, with one of the thieves wielding a large knife. She filmed in the Rio favelas of Mangueira and Rocinha during the same time period. [52][53][54], Rio journalist Jorge Antonio Barros, who has been writing about Rio's favelas and the crime beat since the 1980s and was a colleague of Lopes at Globo, wrote that Lopes's death served to snap him out of the dream state, to which people sometimes fall prey, of romanticizing "the malandro;" and that his death reminded people who don't have to live in favelas under the "law of the trafficker" of the terror that exists as a daily reality. The report got a lot of attention, which in turn caused Rio's political administration to take action. Also present were other traffickers named Xuxa and Zeu.[10]. Tim Lopes and his team were awarded Brazil's top journalism prize for the report which was titled "Feirão das Drogas" ("Big Drug Fair") - the first Prêmio Esso given for broadcast investigative journalism in Brazil. For many years these hilltops were used by leaders of drug trafficking gangs as sanctuary from law enforcement; they now feature the stations of a gondola transport system connecting the Complexo, operational since July 2011. [23] One of the traffickers who was present, Frei, later told detectives that there were more than twenty people present at the scene,[26] nine of whom participated in Lopes's murder.[10]. [1] Lopes was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 6th round, with the 191st overall selection, of the 2012 Major League Baseball draft. The arrest was widely publicized and applauded in Rio's media. [65] Just the Complexo itself is policed by 1,200 UPP officers (it was announced in July 2012 that the number would be increased to 1,800). The 40s also brought us the Slinky, Velcro, Jeep, Tupperware and Frisbee. [31], The chief detective in charge of the Tim Lopes case was Inspector Daniel Gomes of the 22ª DP of the bairro da Penha (the Penha neighborhood precinct). Filling in this power vacuum were young drug traffickers, who patrolled the favelas with automatic weapons. [21] Since residents could not go to the police for redress, they instead reached out to Tim Lopes for help. Tim Lopes (born Arcanjo Antonino Lopes do Nascimento; November 18, 1950 – June 2, 2002) was a Brazilian investigative journalist and producer for the Brazilian television network Rede Globo. They asked for his journalist credentials, which Lopes did not carry when working undercover. His awareness of drugs and crime plaguing the city, and the lack of social services for youth to deal with these problems, seemed to drain him of energy. Gomes was directed to the area and found burned tires, fresh blood, and human remains. [23] In a "macabre ritual" of violence,[10] using a samurai or a "ninja"-type sword, Elias Maluco cut off Lopes's hands, arms, and legs while Lopes was still alive. The week before he died, he took her shopping and bought her a new pair of shoes. [1][36][37] Both have since been recaptured. During one assignment in 1995, Lopes posed as a street vendor while concealing a camera within a cooler. On July 7, Lopes's remains were buried at the Jardim da Saudade cemetery in the Rio suburb of Sulacap. In 2001 Lopes and his team at Rede Globo received the Prêmio Esso (Brazil's version of the Pulitzer) for an investigative series entitled "Feirão das Drogas"[16] ("Big Drug Fair"), in which he used a hidden camera to show dealers on the street openly hawking cocaine to passing pedestrians, yelling out the drug and its price.

On the afternoon of June 2, 2002, Lopes decided to film at a boca de fumo (a drug-selling location) along Rua Oito (Eighth Street) in the Vila Cruzeiro favela. Discover what happen… [10] A young boy had earlier approached Lopes when he was at the bar, and he did not know that the boy was a lookout for a drug dealer. The early 1940s were dominated by World War II. Before putting him into the trunk of a stolen Fiat Palio, the traffickers shot Lopes in either his feet or legs and tied his hands behind his back. Lopez was a loving and caring father, provider and boyfriend, Rodriguez said. “He was the man of my life, the father to my kids and the day of his passing we were supposed to get married.”, USE OF FORCE:  Supporters of Dion Humphrey, teen who was mistakenly tackled, shot by police, demand footage from incident. Now our dilemma is to figure out how to report stories from the areas controlled by drug dealers." [50][51], Though a prominent journalist, Tim Lopes only became nationally known after his death in a crime that shocked the country. In 2002, the media reported him missing while working undercover on a story in one of Rio's favelas. [63] Thousands of soldiers of the Brazilian military were stationed throughout these communities during the subsequent two years. [23][27][28] The other traffickers, including André Capeta and Ratinho, also participated in the torture. Tim Lopes was born Arcanjo Antonino Lopes do Nascimento in Pelotas, Brazil, the fourth child of a family of twelve. We're tired of empowering the criminal in order to get an exclusive. Elias Maluco and other traffickers then transported Lopes to a nearby hill within the Complexo called Pedra do Sapo (Rock of the Toad). Evangelina Rodriguez first met Lopez in November 2014 and started dating him two months later, she said. President Dilma expressed that the award honors "individuals fighters" who "risk their lives in defense of human rights. “My son went to Arizona to visit and he never came home,” Gonzalez said. His first foray into broadcast journalism was for the popular newsmagazine program Fantástico on the Globo network. [27] It was related that the traffickers had taken this man to the top of Vila Cruzeiro hill and incinerated him in the micro-ondas (microwave oven[3]) constructed in a rock formation.
