Haunting final moments of influencer show her getting into ex's car before he shoots her

This is the haunting moment a teenage influencer met her ex-boyfriend and got into his car moments before he shot her dead and then turned the gun on himself.

Micaelly dos Santos Lara, 19, was allegedly killed by her ex David Aparecido da Silva Alves in Hortolandia, Brazil, on May 15, police said.

Newly-released CCTV footage, believed to show the final moments of the woman's life, shows her getting into the suspect's car in the afternoon.

According to chief detective Jose Regino from the Women's Defence Police Station in Hortolandia, Micaelly got into the vehicle at 1.10pm. Around 20 minutes later, Alves allegedly fired the fatal shots.

The former couple's bodies were found in the evening following a report about a vehicle parked for a long time with its engine running.

Regino has now revealed that an incident report was filed against Alves on April 20 during a trip with Micaelly to Guaruja.

On that occasion, the Municipal Guard was called after the couple fought on the beach.

Micaelly told the officers that Alves had broken her mobile phone. Cops found drugs on the man, who allegedly disrespected them.

The teen had over one million followers on social media, where she went by the nickname "Japa".

She would regularly post funny videos or clips of herself dancing or working out at the gym for her Instagram and TikTok followers.

Some of her videos were recorded with her new boyfriend, Vinny Pollo, who said in a social media post: "I hope she's in a good place, the place she deserves to be. An incredible person, caring, liked to help, had many dreams."

According to Vinny, Micaelly's ex-boyfriend had not come to terms with the breakup and would send her messages every day.

Alves had even allegedly gone to Vinny's house looking for Micaelly days before the crime.

Vinny said in a video: "I told her, 'This guy is a psychopath, this guy is crazy, if I were you, I would leave, go to the beach, I don't know, stay away for a while because this guy wants to harm you.'

"You could see he was crazy, he came here very calm, very confident."

The Civil Police have registered the case as femicide followed by suicide.
