On December 13, 2024, 27-year-old D’Angelo Le’Marcus Samuel, a local rapper known as Landlord Lo, was shot and killed outside the Brighton Community Center in Bessemer, Alabama. Samuel and 38-year-old Roderick Hall were standing outside during a funeral reception when surveillance captured a suspect approaching, opening fire, and fleeing in an SUV. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified and arrested 27-year-old James David Abercrombie of Fairfield; he was charged with two counts of capital murder and is being held without bail. Authorities say Abercrombie has a significant criminal history and that Samuel had been wounded in an October shooting that investigators have linked to the same alleged shooter. No official motive has been released.

If anyone attended the reception or saw the SUV leaving the scene, does that help explain what led to this shooting?
