Brandon Everett, a 32-year-old male, tragically lost his life on December 14, 2018, in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. The incident occurred outside a Sunoco A-Plus gas station on Merchant Street, where Brandon Everett and another man, Lamar Seymour, were found lying face down in the parking lot behind a black Cadillac. Both men succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds to the torso, and their deaths were ruled as homicides.
Brandon Lee Richardson, a 31-year-old local rapper known as Born Ready, was
charged with two counts of criminal homicide in connection with the shooting. According to police reports, Richardson claimed he was assaulted by Everett, Seymour, and three other individuals—Dana Jones, Zachary Berry, and Maria Escobedo—before retrieving a gun from his vehicle and shooting the attackers. Surveillance video from the gas station corroborated Richardson's account, showing the group assaulting him before he fired the shots.
Richardson was taken into custody at the scene and later charged with the homicides. The three surviving attackers—Jones, Berry, and Escobedo—were charged with aggravated assault. The investigation focused on understanding the motive behind the initial assault on Richardson and the connections between all parties involved.
The Ambridge community was deeply affected by the tragic event, which occurred during the holiday season. The case garnered significant attention, with Richardson's bail being denied at a preliminary hearing, and he was placed in the Beaver County Jail. The incident left a lasting impact on the victims' families, friends, and the local community.
