Martell OG YD Dean, a 37-year-old rapper from San Diego, was shot and killed while driving southbound on Interstate 805 near Imperial Avenue shortly after 2:20 AM on February 20, 2021. Dean and another passenger were struck; the passenger survived, but Dean was fatally wounded and later died at a hospital despite first responders’ efforts. The white Dodge Charger he was driving was riddled with bullet holes, and graphic scene footage captured paramedics performing CPR and a woman nearby screaming.

The California Highway Patrol has not identified any suspects and the investigation remains open. Dean had a growing presence on YouTube and was known for tracks such as Came From Nothin, and his death has prompted grief across the San Diego community and the rap scene. Does anyone have information about that shooting or recall seeing the Dodge Charger on I-805 that night?
