It is reported that Chaulet, 34, got into a violent altercation with a military police officer in a bar in his hometown of Porto Alegre. During the conflict, the fighter took the policeman's gun and shot him in the groin. The policeman underwent surgery and his life is not in danger.
The police reinforcements found Chaulet leaving the bar in his car. The fighter fired at the officers, they fired back and wounded him in the back. Despite his wounds, the fighter drove the car into another street where he crashed into a Fiat Palio and died at the site.
It is noted that Chaulet had a criminal record for battery, organization of a criminal group, and use of false documents.
