Ricardinho belonged to Rimo and was loaned to Rio Branco from Sao Paulo

The 22 -year -old striker Ricardinho was killed on Monday in Bilim (Brazil), during an exchange of fire. The athlete was killed in a criminal act, killing two other people.

According to the newspaper “Globo Esporte”, the victims were sitting on the sidewalk when they were surprised by a car in which one of its passengers fired shots. The three men died at the scene. Police in the area are investigating the case.

Ricardinho belonged to the Remo club in which he was disclosed, but he was loaned to Rio Branko in Sao Paulo. In March, the 22 -year -old striker suffered a serious injury in the front cruciate ligament of his knee and returned to Remo. The athlete was in the last stage of his injury and was already undergoing a return to the main Remo team.

On social media, Remo responded to Ricardinho's death: “It is with great pain that everyone at Clube do Remo deeply regrets the tragic loss of 22-year-old athlete Ricardinho. Ricardinho was a product of Remo's formation and made his professional debut in January 2023. His passing leaves a void in the hearts of everyone who knew him and admired his talent on the field. May God comfort the hearts of his family and friends at this time.”
