A funny, loving, party-loving guy who never gave up fighting for life and for the people of the favela,”
the leftist lawmaker Renata Souza, remembering Miranda’s friendship with Marielle Franco, the Rio politician assassinated in 2018.: “Today Brazil has lost a courageous young man who, in fighting for his dreams, ended up unshackling the dreams of many others too.”
