Officials arrested a teen suspect in northeast Brazil for allegedly shooting twin sisters to death and live streaming the gang-related executions on Instagram.

Amália Alves and Amanda Alves, both 18, were found dead on the side of a road near a housing complex in Pacajus, Ceará, last Wednesday morning, hours after they were killed.

As they knelt next to each other on the filthy road, video footage captured the sisters' harrowing final moments. The identical teenage mothers were seen kneeling next to each other on the dirt roadway on video footage.

Mateus Abreu, 17, allegedly compelled the twins to wear their hair in a bun before shooting their heads.

According to the publication Jornal de Brasil, the twin girls were killed because they were aware of instances involving local drug dealers. Authorities have not identified a motive for the executions.
