Ryan Anthony Salandy, a 22-year-old Christian rapper, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of William Dean McDaniel, a 21-year-old music producer.
Salandy told police that he intentionally hit McDaniel with his car in Montgomery County, Maryland last Friday (September 25), according to reports on NBC Washington. At around 12:30 pm local time, McDaniel was found lying in the roadway of the 23000 block of Sweetspire Drive, where he was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Investigators believe there was some relationship where Mr. McDaniel was formatting or doing something with music given to him by Mr. Salandy,” Montgomery County Police Capt. Paul Starks said.
Salandy’s mother called the police after he had returned home from the incident. She told them that her son had been involved in a crash and was at their home. Salandy was later arrested, roughly 30 minutes after McDaniel was struck.
Following his confession to the police, Salandy’s lawyer, Luis Gomez, questioned the validly of his statement. Gomez says that his client was “held until 4 am to get whatever confession they may have.”

Just ’cause someone has written a few verses or recorded a couple songs in their basement, that doesn’t make them a ‘rapper’ any more than plunging my toilet makes me a plumber. There’s no one person who has ever heard of this nigga. Stop calling him a rapper.
What you gotta do go to rap college? If someone never heard of a plumber does that make him not a plumber? haha
This comment section is going to be fun to read. That’s all I’m gonna say.
