Kick streamer Santos Salazar has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after Los Angeles police responded to a domestic violence call at his home. The arrest follows a series of chaotic streams in Japan where Salazar allegedly assaulted a rival streamer and stole a bicycle, escalating concerns over his behaviour.

Santos Salazar, a streamer on the Kick platform, was taken into custody by Los Angeles police after officers responded to a domestic violence call at a residence in the city. He is being held on suspicion of attempted murder, according to law enforcement sources. The arrest comes just days after Salazar made headlines for erratic conduct during a livestreaming trip to Japan.

During those Japan streams, Salazar was accused of physically assaulting a rival streamer and stealing a bicycle. The incidents, which were broadcast live to his audience, prompted widespread criticism and raised questions about platform moderation. Kick has not yet issued a statement regarding the arrest or the earlier incidents.

Details of the domestic violence call that led to the arrest remain limited, and no formal charges have been filed as of this report. Salazar is currently being held pending further investigation. The case has drawn attention to the intersection of online influencer culture and real-world legal consequences, particularly for streamers who cultivate aggressive personas.

Dexerto – Games was the first outlet to report the arrest, noting that the attempted murder charge stems from the domestic violence call. The outlet also covered the earlier Japan streams, which it broke as a separate story. No other outlets have yet published conflicting accounts of the events.
