About Fernando Ramos Da Silva
- Fernando Ramos da Silva (29 November 1967 – 25 August 1987) was a Brazilian actor who became renowned for his role as "Pixote," the eleven-year-old title character in Hector Babenco's 1981 film Pixote: A Lei do Mais Fraco, a documentary-style account of the street children of Brazil.
- Da Silva became a controversial figure after the film's release and found it hard to separate himself from his depiction as the street assailant Pixote. On 25 August 1987, da Silva was fatally wounded in an alleged shootout with police.
- Police reports claim that da Silva was resisting arrest, but there are conflicting reports from eyewitnesses who claim da Silva was unarmed.
