League of Legends famous player Doublelift loses his mother by the hands of his own brother!

Yihong Peng, the elder brother of the legendary League of Legends player known as Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng, was charged with murdering his mother and assaulting his father on Saturday in San Juan Capistrano, California.

According to a statement by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Peng’s 59-year-old mother Wei Ping Shen was stabbed to death. His father, Guojon Peng, was critically injured but is “expected to survive.”

The statement says that neighbors reported seeing the suspect that night on the street with a knife at 10:30 pm. Police arrived within one minute and saw the suspect “attempting to flee the scene,” but after a “short foot pursuit,” he was taken into custody.

Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng made a statement about the tragedy late last night:

“This weekend I received some terrible news. My older brother attacked both of my parents with a knife. As a result of this attack, my mom passed away and my dad was seriously hurt and is now recovering in hospital.

“I’m still processing this news and joining up with my dad and little brother to make sure they’re ok and the proper arrangements are being made. I’ll likely be quiet on social media while I work through this. I hope you all understand and support me as you always have in the past.”

Steve Arhancet, co-owner and CEO of Doublelift’s esports team Team Liquid, posted that he planned to “provide all the assistance and support [Doublelift] may want or need.”
