According to Globo, Leandro Lo passed away last night due to injuries after being shot 2 times at close range by a police officer at a Bar in São Paulo.

According to the family’s lawyer Siqueira Junior, Lo got into an altercation with an off duty cop at Clube Sirio on August 7th that resulted in Lo immobilizing the agressor, Henrique Velozo. The man returned with a gun and shot Lo two times in the head. Witness report he also kicked him twice once he was on the ground suffering from the gun shots.

Like so many others, Lo was introduced to BJJ through a social project. In 2004 he started training at Projeto Social Lutando Pelo Bem (PSLPB) under Cicero Costha.

Our condolences go out to his friends and family.
