According to police, the crime occurred outside the victim's home, in the city center, just after 7 am. The killer arrived on a motorcycle wearing a helmet, parked and walked about 10 meters (33 feet) to get close to the man, who was talking on a cell phone, raised the firearm and fired two times.
As the gunman fled towards his motorcycle, an unidentified woman gave chase, then abruptly turned back towards the fallen man.
Police experts are analyzing the images. On Wednesday, relatives will be interviewed by investigators. Police suspect that the crime was a contract killing, but other possibilities have not been ruled out. So far, police have not made any arrests.
Rio Grande do Sul is the southern-most of the Brazilian states. Feliz, population 12,329 (2010), is a small town 85 km (51 miles) from the state capital, Porto Alegre.
