November 7th 2023.
Ielly Alves, a 23-year-old Brazilian woman, tragically filmed her own death at the hands of her boyfriend. She had been recording Diego Fonseca pointing a gun at her when he suddenly pulled the trigger. Just moments before, she had been heard saying “Go hun, do it. Wow, so delicious.”
Fonseca then rushed Alves to the hospital, claiming she had been shot by two men on a motorcycle. His story quickly unraveled when police discovered the video from Alves' camera. He was taken into the police station and charged with murder. They later found a .380 calibre pistol near where his car was parked.
Alves had been in an abusive relationship with Fonseca for some time. He had been arrested for robbery and assaulting a previous girlfriend, and he had allegedly assaulted Alves last year and again in 2022. Olesiane, Alves' mother, revealed that Alves had been planning to break up with him, saying “It wasn't working out.”
Sadly, her mother's words of warning went unheeded. She had urged her daughter to get an order of protection, saying “This is how most femicides happen. No one believes a person is capable until they see that they are dead.”
Ielly Alves' death is a tragic reminder of the dangers of domestic violence. Another example is the death of Prentis Robinson, a musician who filmed himself being murdered while chatting about his birthday celebrations. In 2018, he was walking down a rural road near Wingate, N.C., with a selfie stick when a man approached him and fired four shots. No one could have predicted what was about to happen, and his death serves as a warning to us all.
