Warning Graphic Murder Scene: Gun Violence Devastation

The true-to-life crime-scene photos of an non-fictional murder victim—no matter which country they happen to have been taken in, in my opinion, are less dramatic and more destructive than we are used to seeing on TV-shows or in the Movies.

In real life, there's only one story to tell.

And it's brief, and life-ending.

It's the story of a bullet; traveling through the air, hitting it's intended target—and the consequential destruction which that one event causes.

It's just a tiny piece of lead fired from a rifle or handgun—but when the bullet explodes on contact, it can rip through a human body made of brittle bone, arteries, and tissue, and cause tremendous trauma and devastation.

The result is an ugly mess of wasted human remains, lying face down in the street.

Below are the graphic crime scene photos of a young ex-convict who was charged for murder in another part of his home country, Brazil.

The victim, 22-year-old Creisson "Keke" Mason, was charged with murder in São Joaquim but he will never make it to court.

Mason was gunned down this past Monday at approximately 7:30 in the morning only a few steps from his residence in the Santa Rosa neighborhood. Yet, despite the brutal homicide taking place in broad-daylight and during rush-hour, nobody saw a thing.

Fear can paralyze.

Graphic Crime Scene Photos: Female Body found Murdered

No matter how graphic in nature, Photo Journalism is an art-form and a form of free-expression.

More importantly, it's a necessary tool in the education and sharing of both the good and evil events which unfortunately take place on this planet of ours on a daily basis.

Imagine being a small-town Brazilian resident. And upon awakening, eating your breakfast, and then going outside to enjoy the sunshine, find the body of a young dead women lying in the roadway.

This past Saturday morning, for residents of Macarani—a tiny town in the drug-infested North-East region of Brazil—this was their personal reality, and a sight that will likely haunt their dreams forever.

20-year-old Veronica Santos, just out of her teens, was killed and stuffed inside a large pink shopping bag—then found exposed, in a fetal position, along a dirt-covered road.

A mother of two, Santos was known for being deeply involved in the local drug-trafficking trade.

She was stabbed and beaten to death.

Santos will feel never again feel any pain.

For the two young children who are now left behind to carry-on without their mother, however, the pain, emotional trauma, and memories of this event will undoubtedly last a lifetime.

"Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword" (Matthew 26:52, King James Version)
