The 32-year-old Brazilian fitness influencer was shot dead by two men in front of his home in Villa Matilde, Sao Paulo, on Saturday night.

However, upon arrival, the gunshot victim was said to have gone into cardiac arrest after one of the bullets hit him in the spine.
Police investigating Yoshio’s brutal assassination have yet to make any arrests.
Witnesses told police that the bodybuilder’s car broke down so he dropped him off at his home to collect the money.
