They had been drinking alcohol and were returning to the farm where they were staying with family members, as reported by Need To Know.
The argument reportedly turned physical while driving on the BR-401 highway in Bonfim, Brazil, located close to the border with the English-speaking nation Guyana.
At around 4 am yesterday (14 Dec), the influencer’s 34-year-old girlfriend allegedly stabbed him once in the chest.
The suspect, only named by her initials R.J.B., said afterwards that she used the bladed weapon in self-defence.
After arriving back at the farm, relatives gave first aid to the critically injured influencer while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
But he passed away at the scene, and paramedics could only confirm his death upon arrival.
The suspect was placed under arrest and is currently being kept in police custody as the investigation continues.
Luidy, better known online as ‘Pé de Carrapicho’, had 131,000 Instagram fans and 51,000 TikTok followers at the time of his death.
The teen created humorous content about his daily life in the rugged rural region of Roraima State.
He had been gaining prominence among a predominantly teenage audience before his untimely passing.
