Damon Lamont Irby Jr., known as Lil Irb, was 19 when he was fatally shot on March 5, 2021, in Youngstown, Ohio. A 2019 East High School graduate who loved football and Xbox games, he was driving an SUV in the 3400 block of Market Street near Auburndale Avenue when a white van pulled alongside. One or more people in the van fired into his vehicle while he sat at a traffic light. Irby was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital and later pronounced dead.

Authorities arrested 26-year-old Durrell L. Richardson Jr. of Youngstown on charges that included aggravated murder and felonious assault; he was located in Atlanta on June 19, 2024, with assistance from the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force and extradited to Ohio. Prosecutors later dismissed charges when they could not locate the surviving victim needed for a preliminary hearing. Irby’s father publicly threatened those involved and was arrested; he received a federal prison sentence.
