Brandon Everett, 32, was one of two men found dead of multiple gunshot wounds in the parking lot behind a black Cadillac outside the Sunoco A-Plus on Merchant Street in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, on December 14, 2018. Lamar Seymour also died at the scene; both deaths were ruled homicides.

Police charged 31-year-old local rapper Brandon Lee Richardson, known as Born Ready, with two counts of criminal homicide. Investigators say Richardson told them he had been assaulted by Everett, Seymour and three others—Dana Jones, Zachary Berry, and Maria Escobedo—then retrieved a gun from his vehicle and fired. Surveillance video released by police is described as showing the group assaulting Richardson before he shot. Richardson was taken into custody at the scene; Jones, Berry and Escobedo were charged with aggravated assault.

Key questions remain about what prompted the initial assault and the relationships between the people involved. Anyone with information about what led up to the attack or who saw events in the gas station parking lot is asked to come forward.
