About Danilo Cavalcante
Danilo Souza Cavalcante is a Brazilian national accused of murder in the Brazilian state of Tocantins and a convicted murderer in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. After originally being wanted by Brazilian authorities for his alleged role in the shooting death of Valter Júnior Moreira dos Reis in 2017, Cavalcante fled to the United States. Four years later, in April 2021, Cavalcante was arrested for fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend, Deborah Brandão. On the morning of September 10, at approximately 10:40 a.m., Cavalcante's stolen van was discovered abandoned and out of fuel in a field in East Nantmeal Township. The homeowner discovered Cavalcante in his home and reportedly shot at him seven times, but Cavalcante was able to escape the house and steal a.22 rifle with a scope and a flashlight from the home. Cavalcante, in turn, became a fugitive and hid in a wooded area to prevent his arrest. Police created a search perimeter around the area, securing roads and railroads that traveled through the area to prevent Cavalcante from potentially fleeing, and placed a $10,000 reward for any information leading to his capture.
