He was arrested in another alternative club in the area, after paying to spend some three hours with another Brazilian woman. However he resisted arrest, pulling out his pistol against the two policemen attempting to detain him.
In the struggle his gun went off, injuring him directly in the face with the bullet lodging in his brain. Both the police attempting the arrest were also injured, one of them seriously.
