Gunmen open fire at bar in northern Brazil, killing 11 - BNO News
May 19, 2019 By BNO News

Multiple gunmen have opened fire at a bar in northern Brazil, killing eleven people and injuring at least one other person, local officials say. Only few details were immediately available.

The attack happened at about 3:30 p.m. on Sunday when a group of armed men entered a small bar in Belém, the capital of Pará state, and opened fire at customers inside.

Cellphone footage showed blood covering the floor and bodies on and alongside chairs and tables. Eleven people – 6 men and 5 women – were confirmed dead, and at least 1 person was taken to hospital.

Reported an hour ago; but you can have credit, I will remove mine...

What's crime in Mexico seems to be the rule in the rest of Latin America, this kind of stuff happens in Mexico and is usually criminal syndicates going after each other and is actually, fairly  common. Criminals going after each other or a bar didn't pay its protection money.  That's my guess, could be other.

This was likely, some sort of gang matter, organized crime.

...which also wounded one person, who is now in police protection.

The news outlet said the attackers arrived at the bar in three cars and one motorcycle before killing six women and five men on Sunday afternoon.

...

In late March, the federal government sent National Guard troops to Belém to reinforce security in the city for 90 days.

...

Much of Brazil’s violence is gang related. In January, gangs attacked across Fortaleza, bringing that city to a standstill as commerce, buses and taxis shut down. Rio de Janeiro experiences daily shootouts between rival gangs, and also with police, that often kill bystanders.

If this massacre occurred during daylight hours (and an ambulance is in the film), it's certainly kind of odd the way this looks otherwise, like a normal tropical day in Brazil; and a bit of a crowded thoroughfare, a lot of shirtless males, looks like the area has seen rain recently as well:
