Gabriel's relatives told g1 that he was "fulfilling a dream" by traveling to witness Taylor's play. Gabriel had flown from Belo Horizonte to Rio to see his hero play.
"Cheerful, affectionate, and extremely studious" was how his relatives described him. They continued: "Gabriel is an only child, he has always been by his mother's side, even after he went to study in another state."
Gabriel was rumored to have chosen to swim at the well-known Copacabana beach alongside two cousins. The Messenger claims that three guys approached Gabriel while he was asleep. When he awoke in the middle of the assault, he had been stabbed.
After 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides passed away this past weekend, Gabriel is the second tragically deceased follower of Taylor. On Friday night, Nov. 17, Ana is reported to have gone into cardiac arrest at the concert. She was brought to the hospital, where she passed away an hour later.
Taylor has not yet responded to Gabriel's passing. But after Ana Clara passed away, the singer posted a heartfelt statement on Instagram.
