Guilherme’s mother, nursing technician Rosângela Messias de Sousa, is mourning the death of her son in Brixton from her home in Brazil’s Municipality of Petrolina de Goiás
The mother of a young Brazilian man killed in a gun attack in south London has said her “heart is bleeding” after being told of her son’s death by his friends.
Deliveroo worker Guilherme Messias da Silva was dropping off his last order of the day when he was hit by a car involved in the drive-by shooting in Brixton, south London, as it careered out of control.
It was understood that Guilherme, 21, who came from Petrolina de Goias near the Brazilian capital Brasilia, had been planning to quit his job and go to Brazil in December.
The other victim of the shooting is said to be a drill rapper known as Perm, who is believed to have been the target of the attack.
