Rodrigo da Silva Netto (Rio de Janeiro, May 5, 1977 - Rio de Janeiro, June 4, 2006), better known as Rodrigo Netto or Nettinho, was the rhythm guitarist of the Brazilian rock band Detonautas.
Death
On the night of June 4, 2006, while returning from a party in Rio de Janeiro, Rodrigo was in his car with his brother and grandmother when four criminals in another car tried to intercept him.[1] Rodrigo accelerated and was consequently shot by the thugs, being hit in the armpit and chest and dying instantly.[1] At the time, the Detonautas were going to make live performances on June 5, 6 and 7, but there were postponed. Some time later, Tchello, the bassist, has tattooed on his back an image of Rodrigo's face as a way to honor his friend and Tico, the vocalist, tattooed Netto's signature on his rib.
