Violence just two months before World Cup in Brazil

Violence erupted in a Rio de Janeiro favela as angry residents set fires and showered a busy avenue in the city's main tourist area with homemade explosives and glass bottles following the death of a 25-year-old man

Exchanges of gunfire could be heard after members of an elite police unit moved into the Pavao-Pavaozinho area, in Rio de Janeiro.
Residents blame police for the killing of 25-year-old Douglas Rafael da Silva Pereira whose body was found earlier in the day. He was a well-known figure in the community, as he was a dancer on a TV show for Brazil's Globo network, the nation's largest channel. The circumstances of his death are not yet clear.
