Brazil: Instagram Influencer and Crypto Trader Shot Dead

A YOUNG crypto trader who displayed his wealth on Instagram has been shot dead in the driver's seat of his red Porsche Boxster. 

Shooters released a hail of bullets on 19-year-old Wesley Pessano Santarem as he passed through the Brazilian city of Sao Pedro da Aldeia. 

Chilling video film recorded the outcome of the daytime shooting on August 4 shows Wesley still steering the ship of his vehicle with his white T-shirt blood soaked. 

There is a noticeable bullet twisted in his neck. 

The killing comes as gangs are progressively focusing on purported "Instagran Influencers" such as Bitcoin traders after they parade their abundance via web-based media. 

In spite of being only 19-years of age, Wesley had obviously made a fortune as a digital currency trader and investor for three years. 

On Instagram, he flaunted  his riches and costly way of life to his 133,000 followers in addition to a YouTube channel with 15,600 subscribers where he gave trading tips. 

His last Insta post was a photograph of him sitting on the red Porsche — in which he was shot — as he flicks through wads of money. 

Filled with BULLETS 

As per reports, Wesley, who lived in the close by city of Cabo Frio, was heading to the beautician's to get a haircut when he was attacked. The killing occurred before witnesses who said the killers were driving a silver Volkswagen Voyage. 

Cops say Wesley took somewhere around four shots, including one to the head. 

Wesley's friend was going in the front seat at that point and was harmed in the shooting. 

He was taken to emergency clinic in Cabo Frio while Wesley's body was taken for an after death assessment. 

The harmed man's identity has not been released.

The police have not uncovered the executioners' identity or their motive for the crime.
