As well as shooting at the indigenous people of the Avá-Guarani village, the criminals sprayed pesticides over the community. A lorry ran over an indigenous man who was rushed to hospital in Guaíra. The alleged owner of the area overlapping the Indigenous Land beat an indigenous man with a stick, injuring him on the right side of the head. A community dog was killed. According to the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB), the attack was perpetrated by farmers.
