Dashaun Berry was 20 when he was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting on June 10, 2023, at about 1:30 a.m. The shooting happened in a parking lot at 10923 Magnolia Boulevard near Vineland Avenue in North Hollywood, California.

In November 2023, authorities arrested 24-year-old Taurean Bartlett, known professionally as Trench Baby, and charged him with felony murder in connection with Berry’s death. Bartlett also faces separate charges tied to a first-degree residential robbery on August 15, 2023, and an alleged incident on September 10, 2023, for dissuading a witness by force or threat; those counts are believed to involve the same individual. Bartlett is being held without bail while the case proceeds. His attorneys have disputed the charges, noting no murder weapon, no gunshot residue reported, no eyewitness identification and what they describe as a lack of physical evidence directly linking him to the shooting.

The investigation remains active and detectives are asking anyone with information to contact Valley Bureau Homicide Detectives or Crime Stoppers. Does anyone have information that could help bring clarity to what happened that night?
