Below Deck alum João Franco and his brother Karlos were arrested in Turkey after a fight at a clothing store. A 17-year-old employee later died.
Former "Below Deck" star João Franco is in jail in Turkey. He and his brother Karlos were arrested after a brawl that ended with a teenager dead, according to reports.
The fight broke out Saturday night inside a clothing shop in the Turkish city of Muğla.
How it started
Reports out of Turkey say the brothers were cursing inside the store. That is when an argument with staff began.
Surveillance video allegedly shows Karlos landing the first punch. Chairs went flying as things got out of hand.
João is said to have spent most of the fight trying to pull people apart. But at one point he allegedly threw a punch. Soon after, a store worker went down.
The victim
The worker was 17, according to local reports. He suffered a serious head injury and then went into cardiac arrest.
He was rushed to a hospital nearby. He did not survive his injuries.
Where the case stands
The brothers were taken before a court in Bodrum. They have been locked up since.
Bravo has not commented so far.
