On an October morning in 1968, Chandler entered his Chevrolet Impala, backed out of the garage, and was blocked by a Volkswagen Beetle from entering the road.[3] Diógenes José Carvalho de Oliveira unloaded the six rounds of his Taurus .38 caliber revolver on Chandler, then Marquito opened fire on the American veteran with a machine gun.[3][4][5]

US Department of Defense intelligence report made July 23, 1971: Brazil - The case of captain Charles Rodney Chandler, U.S. Army
According to an article published by Folha da Tarde [pt] at the time, the DOPS attributed the assassination to Carlos Marighella and nine other "terrorists": Diogenes José Carvalho, Dulce de Souza, João Carlos Kfouri Quartim de Moraes, João Leonardo da Silva Rocha, Ladislaw Bowbor, Manoelina de Barros, Onofre Pinto, Pedro Lobo de Oliveira, and Marcos Antonio Braz de Oliveira.[6][4] Those who carried out the assassination were Diógenes José Carvalho, of the Vanguarda Popular Revolucionária [pt] (VPR) and Marco Antônio Brás de Carvalho [pt], or Marquito, of the Ação Libertadora Nacional (ALN).[6]
Legacy
The historian Carlos Fico [pt] characterizes the assassination of Chandler as having had a major impact on the Brazilian military regime, as he was a "North American captain, with such an aura."[6][8]
Involvement in the planning of the assassination is among the baseless accusations supporters of Jair Bolsonaro spread about Dilma Rousseff.[9]
