TikTok star Brandon “Boogie B” Montrell was shot and killed by a stray bullet Friday while Christmas shopping in New Orleans with his grandmother, his heartbroken mom revealed — as she railed against the leaders of the Democrat-run city.
Montrell’s mother confirmed Saturday that the 43-year-old social media personality and comedian was the man killed while sitting in a car parked in the Rouses grocery store in the Warehouse District around 4:07 p.m. the afternoon before.
The devastated mom blasted crime in Louisiana’s most populated city — and the leaders who need to “do their jobs.”

Tik Tok “Stars” are dropping like flies. Are they really that bad?
Wow, not even a gun, let alone a human using the gun: just a "stray bullet," like a stray dog.
I don’t know anything about him but this sure shows how the Democrats deliberately fail at making their communities livable. Some guy gets killed by a stray bullet while Christmas shopping with his grandmother - things like that are business as usual in our dysfunctional Democrat-led cities.
Sure, she rails against Democrats. But would she be willing to vote for fascist Nazis?
This did not happen in a fun down area. NOLA is becoming completely unsafe qith the PD now at half strength:

NEW ORLEANS — With a voice that could only come from New Orleans, comedian Brandon “Boogie B” Montrell gave lessons in “Hood History” and made people laugh across the country.
Montrell was killed Friday evening. He was parked in the Rouses parking lot on Baronne Street in New Orleans’ Warehouse District when a stray bullet struck and killed him. Friends say he was visiting home for the holidays.
“We get people who leave New Orleans and be like ‘Well, I gotta lost the accent or, you know, I got to look a certain way, I have to act a little bougie.’ He was never like that,” New Orleans Attorney Juan Lafonta said. “He always embraced who he was and everywhere he went he was a light for the city.”
Lafonta and Montrell were long time friends. Before Montrell found his calling in comedy, the two worked together at a local club. That was back when “Boogie B” was a dancer, working with the likes of Hotboy Ronald. He even recorded the hit song “Catch the Wall.”
It was Montrell’s video series “Hood History” that reconnected him and Lafonta.
“He was clowning me on social media about looking like a Spanish priest,” Lafonta laughed. “He’s always been a really positive guy. Forever unassuming. Every person he could talk to. He never made one enemy.”
New Orleans police are now searching for two unidentified suspects in the case, seen in the photos below.
They’re also looking for a person of interest, Dyamonique Smith.
Montrell’s mother, Sherilyn Price, released a statement saying that it wasn’t just a stray bullet that killed her son, but the decades of neglect from political leaders.
“He’s the victim of decades of neglect that have left New Orleans’ youth with no hope for a future and with no real fear of consequences,” she said. “It’s past time for leaders in our city and all over to do their jobs. It matters who the president is, who the governor is and who the mayor is. Leaders create opportunities – including the opportunity to live in peace without fear of random violence.”
That random violence took Montrell’s life Friday. Those who knew him say his death cost the community even more.
“He is one of many people that are positive people in New Orleans. Positive Black men,” Lafonta said. “And a lot of times we don’t actually get labeled like that.”
For the past year or so I’ve become more and more convinced that demonrats have been outright stealing elections even in blue cities for many years now. There is simply too great a disconnect between their actions and their rewards to accept anything else.
Yeah, it’s either “gun violence” like the gun is at fault or it is a “stray bullet” that appears out of nowhere like it is a natural thing that just happens. Not a hint at all that bad people are out doing bad things.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time working in and around New Orleans over the past 30 odd years. It’s a rough city and has been for decades. There is no better place in the USA to get thumped on the head and relieved of your wallet. In the quarter watch out for the street kids. They’re all pickpockets and they work together, usually with one or more adults. The last project I did in New Orleans I had an apartment across the street from Tulane. I’ve never heard so much automatic gunfire in my life, including some places I worked in Africa and the middle east. It was so bad I moved out to the other side of the lake after a week. Won’t be going back, I don’t care how much it pays. New Orleans is a war zone.
Yep, apparently someone just threw the thing and look what happened, right? The stupidity of today's "journalism'
Stray bullet tells us who the shooter was. Black Lives Matter.
“Random violence,” not an individual person, “took his life.”
It’s a very sad event, especially for his family and friends.
Seemingly not a bad guy, and not in a bad area. Without more information I can accept the ‘stray bullet’ idea; a sharp-eyed friend had a collection of about a dozen bullets he had picked up while walking to work back in the ‘80s, and there has been a long-standing (if intermittent) practice of celebrating by shooting into the sky, like it’s Baghdad on the Mississippi.
Crime? In the “Chocolate City”? I’m shocked, I tell you. Just shocked.
Almost as frequent as rap “stars”...

We need leash laws for bullets.
/really pushing my luck ;D
Mom. This is what happens when you keep voting democrat. NO is a sewer. Fix it or leave. Crying about the mayhem democrats have wrought will not help.
Remember to spay and neuter your bullets ...
Plus, his car was parked in the grocery store, per the article.
