Not true. It was the guy who originally registered the case, but he didn't actually investigate it, that is in someone else's hands.
"Clarification" rather than "Not true" would be a far more charitable way of stating this.

Story: http://veja.abril.com.br/brasil/delegado-que-abriu-inquerito...

Translated to English:

The delegate Adriano Antonio Soares , the Federal Police in Rio de Janeiro, was killed early on Wednesday in Florianopolis, after exchange of fire in a nightclub in the capital of Santa Catarina. Soares was responsible for opening an investigation into the death of Federal Supreme Court (STF) Minister Teori Zavascki , who died in a January crash.

That ... sounds sufficiently close to what was posted above to be considered "substantively true".
