Segundo a denúncia, o crime aconteceu no bairro Cidade Tiradentes, na Zona Leste de São Paulo, enquanto a vítima e seu companheiro andavam pela rua. A confusão teve início no momento em que uma viatura da Polícia Militar passou perto do casal e colidiu com o braço do homem. De acordo com o Ministério Público, com a escalada do desentendimento, a policial disparou um tiro de calibre .40 que atingiu a mulher na região abdominal. Segundo relato do companheiro da vítima, ele perdeu o equilíbrio e acabou atingindo o retrovisor da viatura policial com o braço. Os agentes pararam para averiguar o ocorrido, dando início a uma confusão. Os policiais declararam que precisaram empregar força física para conter o casal.

Além disso, Thawanna permaneceu desamparada por mais de meia hora no local do crime, agonizando devido ao ferimento antes de ser socorrida. A vítima foi atendida pelo Samu e levada ao Hospital Tiradentes, mas não resistiu aos ferimentos e morreu. *Estagiário da Agência Brasil sob supervisão de Odair Braz Junior

De acordo com o delegado responsável pela apuração, Anderson Rodrigo Andrade de Lima, a prorrogação é necessária para conclusão de perícias contábeis e para aguardar a tramitação do pedido de cooperação internacional com os Estados Unidos para obter registros financeiros de entidades estrangeiras que teriam recebido repasses.

O caso chegou ao Supremo após o deputado federal Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ) solicitar a investigação sobre o pedido de dinheiro feito pelo senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), candidato à Presidência da República, a Vorcaro para o custeio das gravações. O filme que retrata a vida política de Bolsonaro veio à torna após o site The Intercept revelar que o senador pediu dinheiro a Vorcaro para financiar as gravações. Após a divulgação da conversa entre Flávio e Vorcaro, ocorrida em novembro do ano passado, o senador negou ter combinado qualquer vantagem indevida com o banqueiro e disse que os recursos eram privados.
