Cops arrested her ex-boyfriend Antônio Lício Morais da Costa, 20, soon after, local media reported.

Beatriz was popular on the social media app Kwai and was known for posting comedy, dance, and ‘day in the life’ type videos.
Brazilian news outlet G1 said the couple had a row in the car before Antônio allegedly went into the back seat and strangled her with the seatbelt.
And in chilling footage posted hours before the alleged murder the pair appear to be in a major row, including with Beatriz stabbing Antonio with siccors.
Antonio has now been charged with femicide by by public prosecutors.
The couple often joked about their supposedly ‘toxic’ relationship in the videos they posted together.
Antonio was remanded in custody after appearing before a judge.
