Maria Katiane Gomes da Silva, 25, died after falling from the tenth floor of a residential building in southern São Paulo on November 29, 2025. Police later temporarily arrested her partner, Alex Leandro Bispo dos Santos, as a suspect. News reports said security footage showed assaults before the fall, but the reports available do not establish a final forensic conclusion or a court finding of guilt.
What happened to Maria Katiane Gomes da Silva?
Maria Katiane died after a fall from a residential building in the Morumbi or Vila Andrade area of southern São Paulo on November 29, 2025, according to reports by SBT, CNN Brasil and Metrópoles. She was 25.
The incident date, the later arrest and a subsequent police reconstruction are separate events. The available reports do not establish a final determination of how she fell or who caused her death.
Who was arrested, and what did police report?
On December 9, 2025, police temporarily arrested her partner, Alex Leandro Bispo dos Santos, as a suspect. SBT reported that the 89th Police District, in Jardim Taboão, was continuing investigative work. An arrest and an investigative theory are not a conviction.

SBT reported that building security cameras showed assaults before the fall and that police were investigating the death as completed femicide. That describes the reported investigative classification, not a judicial finding.
According to accounts reported by CNN Brasil and SBT, Bispo dos Santos said he heard a scream and a thud and believed she had jumped. Investigators reportedly treated him as a primary suspect after reviewing footage and statements and identifying inconsistencies. His account is an attributed claim, not an independently established explanation of the fall.
What evidence was reported, and what remains unresolved?
Building security footage
Reports said footage from the building showed assaults before Maria Katiane fell. UOL quoted delegate Pietrantonio Minichillo, identified as leading the investigation: “A análise das imagens das câmeras de segurança mostraram o comportamento muito agressivo da parte dele após voltarem de uma festa”. The statement is attributed to Minichillo by UOL.
Apartment camera memory cards
UOL reported that police collected memory cards from two cameras inside the apartment. An initial review found no recording for the day Maria Katiane died. Forensic technicians were assessing whether data could be recovered and whether the absence resulted from a technical failure or deletion. The reports available do not establish the result of that examination.

On January 13, 2026, police conducted a reconstruction at the building in Vila Andrade, with the suspect present, according to Metrópoles. Band reported that forensic work lasted about three hours, used a 3D scanner and a doll to simulate the fall, and that a forensic report was expected in about 30 days. The reports do not establish whether that report was completed or what it concluded.

The latest dated development in the cited reports is the January 13, 2026 reconstruction. Those reports do not establish a later police status, a charging decision, a court hearing, a judgment or the final forensic result. It would therefore be inaccurate to describe a later case outcome as confirmed based on these reports alone.
