Tragedy has hit the Call of Duty Mobile esports scene in Brazil this week as authorities sort out the heinous murder of a 19-year-old female professional player near the city of São Paulo. Ingrid Oliveira “Sol” Bueno da Silva was reportedly discovered dead at the hands of fellow Call of Duty Mobile professional player Guilherme Alves “Flashlight” Costa. Costa has been taken into custody by authorities.
Sol’s murder was apparently discovered on Monday with authorities investigating on Tuesday, February 23, 2021, as reported by ESPN’s Brazilian branch. According to the report, Sol had met Flashlight online and visited him at his home in Pirituba, just slightly north of São Paulo, Brazil. It was there that Sol was reportedly stabbed to death. Groups associated with Sol, including Jaguares Esports, mourned for Sol and called for attention to violence and discrimination against women in the wake of her murder.
