I think calling this death an "assassination" is somewhat of a stretch of the imagination and perhaps is an emotivetitle that would be typical of some tabloid headlines. An assassination would suggest this person is a prominent or important leader who is removed from office by being killed. There is no evidence of prominence or importance, or even an office being held, in the article, so I would have thought this article was better titled as Killing of ... or something similar. So why is this being called an "Assassination"? Has something been lost or misinterpreted in translation? - Cameron Dewe (talk) 22:32, 27 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Cameron Dewe: yeah, Assassination and Assassinato are false cognates. The Portuguese word "Assassinato" means just "murder", not necessarily of a prominent or important person like the English word. So I'll be moving this to "Murder of Genivaldo de Jesus". Skyshiftertalk 22:51, 27 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Skyshifter: Thanks, I thought that might be the case. However, I think moving this article to a title starting with Murder will possibly open another can of worms... But that is a different debate. I am happy if many of the sources are calling this a "Murder", or "Assassinato" in Portuguese, at this stage, as that makes it a recognizable common name. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:20, 27 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
