Darion Brekenridge, a 21-year-old man from Pontiac, Michigan, was shot and later died after his car crashed at the southeast corner of Linda Vista Drive and Valencia. Deputies arrived about 11:35 p.m. and found a black Chevrolet Impala stopped against a pole with the rear left window shattered and Brekenridge slumped over the steering wheel with multiple upper-body gunshot wounds. He was taken for emergency surgery but was pronounced dead about 3:40 a.m. on October 21, 2014.

Investigators say the shooting appeared connected to a larger burst of gunfire that night: another Pontiac resident arrived at a hospital with multiple gunshot wounds and was listed in serious condition. A witness reported a dark-colored vehicle leaving the area. Detectives processed the scene, canvassed nearby residences, and appealed for information; Crime Stoppers offered a reward for tips leading to an arrest. In an October 2020 recap, rapper DDG, identified in other profiles as Brekenridge’s brother, said he believed he knew who killed Darion and that the person was jailed for an unrelated matter but had not been charged in the murder.
