UPDATE: Oakland Police Department Tweeted out a photo of two people interest in the case, asking for the public's help in identifying what appear to be a man and a woman who were walking in the area prior to the homicide of Matheus Gaidos.

The horrifying events surrounding the shooting of a 27-year-old Brazilian flower delivery man in Oakland's Koreatown has left his devastated parents, who recently arrived in the Bay Area from Brazil, urging for justice and an end to such senseless violence according to KTVU. Matheus Gaidos was innocently delivering flowers while playing a video game on his cell phone with a friend in Brazil when a seemingly harmless comment about a passerby's pet led to a deadly altercation.

As reported by Hoodline, Gaidos had remarked "nice dog" while on his flower delivery round outside an Oakland apartment building, when the situation rapidly spiraled out of control. Surveillance video shows the confrontation between Gaidos and the man with two dogs before tragedy struck. Gaidos' friend in Brazil, who was on the phone with him at the time, heard the commotion and Gaidos saying he had been shot.

Gaidos' parents, Isabel Martines and Antonio Gaidos, flew to the United States as soon they heard about their son's shocking demise and are struggling to comprehend the cruel, senseless death of their only child. "It's my only son. The pain, don't know how to explain the pain," said Martines. "I don't know what to do. I'm destroyed inside."

According to the grief-stricken parents, their son moved to the US five years ago to escape the street violence in Brazil, seeking a safer life. He had been working as a delivery driver in the Bay Area for the past three years, carrying hopes and dreams of becoming a husband and father one day, in the country he believed would grant him a peaceful life.

"It's hard to forgive something that happened like that," expressed Antonio Gaidos through an interpreter. "We want justice, just don't want to see this happening with somebody else." Gaidos' friends, Dario Pacheco and Guilherme Silva, who are also from Brazil, came to the United States for the same reason as Matheus – in search of safety. Both men now work as delivery drivers in the Bay Area and, understandably, feel shaken by the horrifying incident. "It could be us. Could be another friend. Now, we don't think we're safe outside," said Pacheco.

Despite their grief, Gaidos' parents are determined to bring their son's body back to Brazil for burial. They had hoped he would return to Brazil someday, but never under such heartbreaking circumstances. The sudden loss of their son has left them shattered and yearning for answers.
