On October 9, 2011, Tony Silva, aged 49, was killed in Fort Worth, Texas, after an altercation involving a marijuana transaction turned violent. Silva had been involved in a dispute over $200 worth of marijuana with several individuals, including Ricky Scott, who was later convicted for his role in the crime. The incident began as a drug deal that quickly escalated, with reports suggesting Silva tried to leave without paying.
