This paper seeks to analyze the narratives of dehumanization of blackness, socially and historically constituted, emerging in the documentary production that institutionalizes the case of João Alberto, which occurred in November 2020. As an empirical corpus, we analyze the Civil Police report, issued on December 10, 2020, in which testimonies of indictees and witnesses to the crime were transcribed. In summary, we observe an inversion of the meanings of the investigation, in which João, the victim, was implicitly accused of having caused his own death.
