Shaggy criminal

Cabeleira en 1969

Cabeleira (Hairy or Shaggy; 1950-1969) was a Brazilian gang member who was part of the Trio Ternura of Cidade de Deus in Rio de Janeiro, alongside Goose and Clipper, with Dice Pequeno as an accomplice. The four robbed businesses and supply trucks, fleeing before the cops arrived. Shaggy was known for sleeping around, earning his nickname, though he eventually formed a long-term relationship with a local girl named Berenice. Additionally, he regularly hung out with his little brother, Benny.

In 1969, the Trio Ternura followed Dice's plan to rob the Motel Miami, a local motel that secretly held a brothel. Midway through the robbery, Dice (who served as a lookout) shot out a window to alert the Trio of the police's arrival. Unbeknownst to Shaggy or the others, Dice only did this to isolate the victims, who he massacred with a revolver before fleeing. Hunted by the police, Shaggy stayed with his girlfriend, while Goose stayed with his father and Clipper joined the clergy.

Eventually, Shaggy and Berenice attempted to hijack a passing car, which alerted the police and caused a chase that ended in Shaggy's death.
