"Investigations indicate that 95% of those killed had proven links to the Red Command and 54% were from other states, including heads of criminal organizations in Pará, Bahia, Amazonas, Goiás, Maranhão and Espírito Santo, among others," explained Rio de Janeiro's Civil Police.

"Two of the criminals have not yet been identified because they lack fingerprints, dental records or DNA. Civil Police teams have been working uninterruptedly since Tuesday, October 28," the authorities noted.
