Lamonta Tay Way Butcher, a 29-year-old rapper from Richmond, California, was killed in a drive-by shooting on September 18, 2020. The shooting happened shortly after he posted his location on Instagram as 4th Street and McDonald Avenue; that post is reported to have revealed his whereabouts. Butcher was chased and gunned down by multiple people; two bystanders were also wounded. The Richmond Police Department identified the Manor Boyz gang as responsible for the attack.

Court records state that 22-year-old Deante Reed was arrested and charged in connection with the killing. Prosecutors say Reed drove a rented Nissan SUV to the scene while a co-conspirator fired on Butcher and the bystanders. Reed faces charges including murder with gang enhancements, conspiracy to commit murder, and attempted murder tied to a separate non-fatal shooting six days earlier. The investigation is ongoing and authorities are seeking other people involved.

If anyone knew Lamonta Butcher, his movements that night, or has information about the people who carried out the shooting, please come forward.
