According to the information received, Nísio Gomes was the leader of a group of some 60 Guaraní indigenous people of the Guaviry community, who in early November 2011 had returned to part of their ancestral land in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, after having lost that land to non-indigenous industrial farmers. On 16 November 2011, a group of armed men surrounded the bus in which several members of the Guaviry community were travelling. The gunmen reportedly held the bus for several hours, destroying the bus‟s brakes and threatening the passengers. On 19 November 2011, some 40 masked gunmen entered the Guaviry community and surrounded Mr. Nísio Gomes, ordering those present to lie on the ground. Mr. Gomes was shot in the head, chest, arms and legs. His body was then taken from the area by the gunmen. Mr. Gomes‟s son was allegedly beaten and shot with rubber bullets when he tried to intervene. Members of the community fled in fear and it is reported that three children are now missing, though it is not clear whether they were taken by the gunmen or were lost in the chaos.
