Oruam is accused of firing a 12-gauge shotgun during a party on December 16, 2024, in the presence of several people. The conduct was filmed and posted on social media, according to Band. A ballistic analysis revealed that the ammunition used was lethal for hunting, not rubber as alleged by the rapper, according to analysis attached to the police investigation reported by Jornal de Brasília.

"O promotor Alan Carlos Reis Silva, do Ministério Público de São Paulo (MPSP), pediu a prisão preventiva do rapper Mauro Davi dos Santos Nepomuceno, o Oruam, por disparo de arma de fogo."

The prosecutor argues that Oruam "is a fugitive, making criminal jurisdiction ineffective and compromising compliance with any eventual conviction," according to O Globo. The rapper is also under investigation by Rio de Janeiro prosecutors for attempted murder of civil police officers, money laundering crimes and involvement with Comando Vermelho.

"Segundo o Ministério Público, em 16 de dezembro de 2024, na cidade paulista de Igaratá, Oruam disparou um tiro de espingarda em meio a uma festa, na presença de diversas pessoas. A conduta criminosa foi filmada e postada em redes sociais."

"Uma análise pericial anexada ao inquérito policial revelou inconsistências na versão do rapper sobre o disparo de espingarda calibre 12, que ele alegou ter sido feito com munição de borracha. Mas a verdade veio à tona: o tiro era real... A análise de um cartucho vermelho presente na cena e dados da Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (CBC) confirmaram que a munição era usada para caça"

Oruam is the son of trafficker Marcinho VP, identified as one of the leaders of Comando Vermelho, according to Revista Oeste. Rio prosecutors had already charged the rapper with criminal organization and money laundering crimes, alleging he was a direct beneficiary of a Comando Vermelho laundering scheme and used his musical career to disguise the origin of illicit money.

"No pedido, o membro do MPSP sustenta que Oruam é pessoa de interesse em investigação por crimes de lavagem de dinheiro e envolvimento com o Comando Vermelho, além da tentativa de homicídio contra policiais civis fluminenses. Segundo o promotor, o denunciado "se encontra foragido, inviabilizando a efetividade da jurisdição penal e comprometendo o cumprimento de eventual decreto condenatório"."
