A picture of Maicon, the son of construction worker Jose Luis Farias da Silva, 56 - who has spent the last two decades trying to see justice done in the killing of his two-year-old son by stray bullets fired by a police officer - on an Amnesty International poster reading "Justice for Maicon", photographed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on August 28, 2017. On April 15, 1996, his two-year-old son Maicon was playing in the street in front of their house when he was killed by a bullet fired by a policeman pursuing drug trafficking suspects. Jose has spent the last two decades trying to see justice done. The official report declared that his toddler son was "resisting," making him a legitimate target in an act of self-defense by the police. The most brutal face of the economically collapsed city of Rio is reflected in the growing number of victims of stray bullets, the product of clashes between police and traffickers. AFP's "Stray bullets" project tells some of the victims' stories. / AFP PHOTO / MAURO PIMENTEL
