Brazilian bodybuilder Salomao de Moura Ribeiro Magnin’s lifeless body was discovered next to his motorcycle in a car park last Saturday. As confirmed by NeedtoKnow, Magnin lost his life at only 22 years old after being shot five times.
This tragedy became even more concerning because he had no criminal record. In addition, the motives for the violent attack remain unclear. His murder is under investigation by authorities who currently have no idea why this happened or who could have committed the horrendous crime.
Local reports indicate that Magnin pleaded with the attackers to have his life spared. The tragedy on Friday night went down northeast of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. As it stands, CNN Brazil revealed that police discovered blood stains and multiple rounds of ammunition at the scene. To make things even more unsettling, his body was found wrapped up in a sheet.

This is far from the first violent attack to take place in Brazil. Aspiring bodybuilder and psychologist Fabiana Veras was found dead at her workplace in Assu, Brazil. She passed away from several stab wounds and when authorities made it to the crime scene, she had cuts on her hands and body. While police had a person of interest in mind, they had yet to find out who was responsible for the incident.
Denis Yoshio, another Brazilian bodybuilding talent, tragically lost his life recently. He died at only 32 years old after being shot outside of his home in Vila Matilde, a district of Sao Paulo. Motorists who committed the crime quickly fled the scene. Similar to Magni’s case, authorities are looking for two motorists who they believe had a hand in the incident. In time, hopefully, his friends and family can get closure following the devastating loss.
We at Fitness Volt extend our most heartfelt condolences to the friends and family of Salomao de Moura Ribeiro Magnin. We hope justice is served in due time.
