Carlos Boulos, the uncle of Brazil's minister Guilherme Boulos, has died after being struck by a vehicle in São Paulo, according to CNN Brasil. The incident followed an argument in traffic, the outlet reported.
CNN Brasil said the collision took place on Avenida 23 de Maio, in the center of São Paulo. Other Brazilian outlets, including G1, UOL Notícias and Jovem Pan, also reported the death, describing it as coming days after the man was hit. Metrópoles identified him as Carlos Boulos and noted his family connection to the minister.
The reports describe a sequence in which a dispute between road users preceded the vehicle striking the man. The accounts available do not specify what the argument was about, who was involved beyond those immediately present, or whether anyone has been detained or charged.
Coverage of the case has centered on the victim's relationship to Guilherme Boulos, a national political figure, which is why the story has drawn attention beyond São Paulo. The reporting so far is consistent across outlets on the central facts: the location, the traffic dispute, and the death.
What to watch next: whether São Paulo authorities confirm the circumstances of the collision and whether any investigation or legal action follows.
