Darrell BTB Savage Gentry, a 26-year-old rapper from Houston, was fatally shot in a drive-by on March 30, 2023, in the River Oaks area. The shooting occurred about 6:10 p.m. near the 2100 block of Mid Lane; Gentry was found dead inside his white Mercedes-Benz, which was riddled with bullet holes.

Weeks earlier he had spoken publicly about a February 2023 self-defense shooting at his San Antonio residence, saying he and his girlfriend fought off intruders and that one assailant died. Photos he posted from the San Antonio incident drew controversy for showing him in a blood-stained apartment. Houston police have opened an investigation and say they are exploring whether the San Antonio episode might be connected to the March killing; no arrests or suspect identifications have been announced.

Anyone who has information about the River Oaks drive-by or potential links to the San Antonio incident is asked to contact the Houston Police Department.
