Top VR Gamer Memphis Slater, Aka "Oleander," Found Dead in Suspected Murder
October 2, 2012 — Los Angeles, CA
Memphis Slater, a professional gamer known by his gaming alias "Oleander," has been found dead in his Los Angeles home. The 28-year-old was recognized as the top assassin-class player in the popular VR MMORPG Gaea's Veil, where he dominated leaderboards and gained a massive following for his unmatched skills.
Authorities confirmed that Slater's death was the result of poisoning, and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his murder has already led to the arrest of a suspect. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has not yet released the suspect’s identity, but sources close to the investigation indicate that the individual is known to Sampson.
The crime was reported late Monday evening after one of Slater's friends, concerned by his sudden absence from an online tournament, contacted authorities for a welfare check. When police arrived at his home, they discovered Slater unresponsive. Emergency responders were unable to revive him, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Slater was widely regarded as a rising star in the esports world, particularly for his mastery of the assassin class in Gaea’s Veil, a game where precision, stealth, and strategy are critical. Under the alias "Oleander," he had built a large community of fans and was considered nearly unbeatable in high-level competitions.
His death has sent shockwaves through the gaming community, with many expressing disbelief over his sudden and tragic passing. Fellow gamers and fans have flooded social media with tributes, calling him "a legend" and "an inspiration."
“This is a tremendous loss to the gaming world,” said one of Slater’s teammates from a recent tournament. “Memphis wasn’t just one of the best players; he was also a kind and generous person, always willing to help others improve.”
The LAPD has not disclosed a motive for the crime, but a spokesperson for the department confirmed that they believe the poisoning to be an isolated incident and that there is no ongoing threat to the public.
Slater's family has asked for privacy during this difficult time, while his fans have organized several online memorial events in his honor. The investigation into his death remains ongoing.
