A disturbing video captured by a 23-year-old woman shows her boyfriend shooting her fatally. Ielly Gabriele Alves succumbed to a gunshot wound in Brazil on 4 November 2023. Police launched an investigation into her death. Her boyfriend, Diego Fonseca Borges, initially claimed Ielly was shot by a group of armed men.
Borges asserted that they were driving together when the men attempted to mug them. He then took her to the hospital, creating the impression he was trying to save her. Local police chief Ulisses Cortez shared with Globo News that Borges even hugged Ielly’s body and vowed to her mother that he would find and punish the assailants.
However, police found inconsistencies in Borges’ story. He couldn’t provide a clear account of the shooting location or details of the incident. Experts also noted that the bullet entry on Ielly’s body did not align with his version of events.

The investigation took a turn when Ielly’s aunt handed over her phone to the police. They discovered a video recorded on Ielly’s phone. The footage, filmed at a house in the Goiás region about 100 miles from Brasilia, showed Borges watching through a window and talking to Ielly, who was behind the camera. Moments later, Borges pointed a gun at Ielly and fired, causing her phone to drop.
Borges was charged with qualified homicide. He claimed he thought the gun was unloaded.
Further investigation revealed the couple had a troubled relationship. Ielly had confided in friends about alleged violence from Borges. “They advised her to end it,” a police officer told Globo.
Ielly’s mother, Olesiane Alves da Silva, mentioned that Ielly had not wanted to see Borges anymore. On the day of the shooting, he insisted on talking to her. “She even heated up a plate of food for him here at home before they left. She said: mom, I’m going over there and I’ll be right back,” she said.
Brazilian police have been contacted for updates on the case.
