The family of Real Madrid player Endrick has been struck by a devastating tragedy, which occurred on Christmas Day (Wednesday, December 25). According to RMC Sport, the Brazilian has lost a close family member, brutally killed in his home country.
Maurício Nunes Gonçalves, the brother-in-law of Endrick’s older sister, was shot and killed near Brasília in Brazil, as reported by local media.
The 38-year-old was shot eight times in the head while trying to escape his attackers in a bar. Brazilian authorities are currently investigating the incident, which is believed to be a premeditated execution due to the direct nature of the attack.
Endrick’s sister says emotional goodbye
Endrick’s older sister, Lavinia Sudre, who has already displayed a black ribbon on her social media profiles as a sign of mourning and respect, has been deeply shaken by the event, as expected. She bid a heartfelt farewell to her relative with an emotional message on social media following the funeral, which took place on Thursday.
“Today, I wanted to share only positive and happy things, but unfortunately, that won’t be the case. Today, we say goodbye to someone whose life was cruelly cut short,” she wrote. “You left beautiful memories in our hearts that we will never forget”.
