Harrowing moment woman, 34, is shot dead in the middle of a street in Brazil by a man who had been lying in wait

A street surveillance camera showed the shooter had been standing next to a light post on a São Paulo street for nearly four minutes when he ambushed Ana Paula da Silva on Monday afternoon.

The 34-year-old, a mother to a 15-year-old girl, was shot once in the head and twice in the neck. She was pronounced dead on the scene, according to the Military Police.

The security camera shows da Silva walking down Monsenhor Andrade Street after she had finished her work shift at a shoe store in the São Paulo garment district of Brás.

Da Silva does not make eye contact with the killer before he shot her in the head and stood over her for several seconds.

The assailant then got on his bicycle and took off while another man, who seemed to have been trailing da Silva on his own bike before the chilling Murder took place, followed the shooter's tracks before they disappeared from the camera's view.

Authorities did not provide a motive for da Silva's murder.

No arrests had been reported by the São Paulo police as of Friday.
