2001Duilio Pessoto was born in 1945 in Brazil. He grew up in a rural area, surrounded by farmland. He became a farmer. He lived a simple life, often working on his land.
Duilio remained single and appeared to live alone. He did not have a known close relationship with anyone. Reports suggest that he had few friends and mostly kept to himself. People in his community knew him as a quiet man.
On March 1, 2001, Duilio drove away from his home carrying two revolvers. His actions that day would later define his story. Reports indicate that he felt angered by a joke made about his sexuality. This incident reportedly affected him deeply.
On March 1, 2001, in Jundiaí, São Paulo, Brazil, Duilio Pessoto conducted a shooting spree, resulting in the deaths of four people, including a cousin. Pessoto, angered by a joke regarding his sexuality, left his home armed with two revolvers. He drove along a nearby road and shot his first victim as the man was driving by.
After that, Pessoto went to a bar where he shot two more men. These actions left three people dead at that location. He then drove a short distance, pulled over, and shot his fourth victim. Following the murders, Pessoto turned the gun on himself and committed suicide on the street.
The victims of Pessoto were Laerte Pessoto, who was 50 years old; Felipe Keller, aged 57; Benedito Lino da Silva, who was 56; and Antônio Segala, who was 58. The entire event unfolded quickly, and Pessoto ended his life on the same day he took the lives of others.
