"Investigators say witness testimony and surveillance video indicate Brandao was involved in a physical altercation with several individuals, who then left the scene. Some time after, Brandao was run over by a vehicle that also fled, authorities said."
"In an interview with The Enterprise, Brandao's aunt, Ericka Dos Reis, described her nephew as quiet and shy and as someone who loved to spend time with his family. 'He's very lovable,' said Dos Reis. 'Me and him were close. He used to call me a lot. It's difficult knowing that call won't come in anymore.'"
"Brandao worked as a forklift driver and enjoyed playing soccer and spending time with friends, according to his obituary, which described him as a 'proud son, devoted brother, and loyal friend.' 'His humor and lighthearted personality brought smiles to many and left lasting memories for all who knew him,' the obituary reads."
