Residents of Sao Paulo took to the streets on Tuesday to protest the death of a 15-year-old boy who was allegedly killed by police. The boy went missing on Sunday. His body was later found with two gunshots to the head and signs of aggression on his body. On Tuesday, Sao Paulo's Civil Police confirmed two officers from the military police are being treated as suspects. According to local media reports, the pair are now on the run. Earlier in the week, residents in the southern Brazilian state of Sao Paulo set fire to vehicles in anger over the death. But Tuesday's protest was peaceful.
