Call of Duty Mobile player Ingrid "Sol" Oliveira was allegedly killed on Monday in São Paulo, Brazil, by another COD player known by the nickname "Flashlight", Guilherme Alves Costa. The Brazilian news portal R7 shared the news on Tuesday.
Murder Suspect Shared Footage on WhatsApp
It emerged that Oliveira and Costa, whom she had met while playing matches, met in person for the first time at Costa's home after talking for a month. Costa stabbed Oliveira to death and then shared a video of himself confessing the crime on his cell phone with a group of COD Mobile players on WhatsApp.
According to information obtained by the news portal Viva ABC, the shared video and the crime committed were planned in advance. Costa himself also admitted that he committed the murder deliberately and was in his right mind.
Costa was reported to have turned himself in to the police after last speaking with his brother. Some members of the COD Mobile group in which he shared the video passed the video to the authorities with a statement saying they have no legal ties to Costa.
The 19-year-old Oliveira was a COD Mobile player on the FBI esports team. Brazilian society still suffers from violence against women and launched a large condemnation campaign earlier this year condemning harassment cases in the country's esports scene.
There can be and should be no justification for this crime. We hope for an end to violence and murders against women wherever in the world, and we strongly condemn it.
