The Princessshaw of the gang is shot to death by the police along with the chief contractor

The Princessshaw of a traffic gang that carried automatic neck-cuffed weapons was recently killed in a shootout with the police, where he remained dead and her father, the chief contractor.

Rayan Nazareth Cardozo, 20, was shot in the head on July 16th during the police action, along with her father, in Rio de Janeiro.

The police had been notified to come to the scene of the event that the pair reportedly were holding a family hostage.

Considered one of Rio de Janeiro's most wanted criminals, Cardozo da Silveira feels for a series of robberies and murders in the Brazilian capital.

But although the girl was known differently by her dear name, "Helo Kitty," she was considered second in command of the organization run by her father, Alessandro Luiz Viera Moura.

Police were summoned to the Complexo residential complex do Salgueiro on Friday morning, following reports that members of a family were being held hostage against their will.

A gunfight followed between gang members and police, while neighbours remained in their homes trapped among bullets.

As a result, Cardozo da Silveira was shot dead along with her father and two other gang members.

Police later said Viera Moura controlled drug trafficking in the Salgueiro region, and his 20-year-old daughter conducted daily operations.

Helo Kitty was also known in Rio's night life and often promoted the exaggerated life - style on social networks by posting various weapons.

In one of the images she looks pregnant, but nothing knows about her child.

In shocking images published by the media were seen the bodies of criminals fallen on top of each other placed in the police car.

Police had conducted such an operation against the gang two years earlier, but Cardozo da Silveira and others had managed to escape.
