I am doing some school work and have to include who killed Chico Mendes please support me : ) Mendes left Brasilia and returned to Acre to promote the scheme of extractive reserves and to solicit help for the ecology measures discussed at the convention. He continued his work, built more schools, and supported the empate offensives until December 22, 1988, when he stepped from his house in the Brazilian town of Xapuri and into the path of a bullet. The murder of Chico Mendes drew global attention, and over 1,000 mourners attended his funeral. The Brazilian government was compelled by the global advertising to seek out the killer. After two years of stalling, the gunman, Darci Alves da Silva, went to trial. He was convicted of the murder along with his father, Darly, who was convicted for his role in plotting the murder. Mendes passed from physical life one week after his 44th birthday, leaving a wife and children. His introductory marriage to Maria Eunice Feitosa in 1969, ended in divorce. The couple had two daughters of whom only Angela, the eldest, pulled through past infancy.

In the 1980s, Mendes married a woman named Ilzamar, whom he had taught as a young girl on one of the rubber plantations. They had two children: Elenira, and Sandino.
