According to the nurse Silvio Oliveira, who is the son of the elderly man, the car guard spends the whole day in bed and still shows the marks of the assault on his the body. “He doesn’t talk, he only verbalizes very little. When people ask him something, sometimes he responds with consciousness, others times not. His mind is still very confused,” said the man’s son.

The family of the elderly said that they await justice. “That’s what we want. That justice be done, because if not this will spread and it will continue to happen much with other seniors and other blacks,” said Oliveira.
