Micael Leandro, 15‑year‑old ex‑São Paulo youth, killed in Maceió shooting
Micael Leandro da Silva, a 15‑year‑old former São Paulo FC youth player who was playing for the CSA under‑15 team, was shot dead during a friendly match in the Pontal da Barra neighbourhood of Maceió on 1 August 2026. Police investigations suggest he was hit by mistake as gunmen opened fire on a group of players; the suspects fled on a motorcycle and have not been apprehended. The teenager was taken to Hospital Geral do Estado but did not survive. São Paulo FC issued a statement: “With deep sadness we lament the death of Micael Leandro da Silva.” The Centro Sportivo Alagoano (CSA) and the Alagoas Football Federation (FAF) also expressed condolences and called for a thorough investigation. The case is being handled by the Alagoas Civil Police and the Homicide and Personal Protection Division.
The shooting has sparked concern over youth safety in local football events and prompted calls for increased security at amateur matches.
