The accused killer of late Houston rapper Montana 22 as well as his 11-year-old stepson was out on bond when he allegedly committed the crimes.
Desmond Hawkins, 21, had previously been charged with capital murder in relation to a Houston man’s death in December 2019. However, a judge released Hawkins on a $90,000 bond, allowing him to be free. In October 2020, Hawkins allegedly opened fire on a car occupied by Montana 22, real name Menuel Santel Solomon and Montana’s stepson, Dominic Sumicek. Montana died at the scene and Dominic passed away three days later after Montana attempted to shield the young boy from gunfire.
“It’s a murder charge that he was out here running free on,” Candace Taulbee, who shared a 7-year-old son with Montana, said. “I feel like somebody needs to be held responsible for my son, for my son’s sisters having to grow up with no father.”
Houston Rapper Obe Noir Shot & Killed, Trae Tha Truth Calls It Undeserving
Montana’s death is one of the numerous tragic murders involving Houston rappers over the past few months. On March 5, Chucky Trill was shot and killed on an Atlanta highway after he left a club show for Dallas artist Erica Banks. Days later, rapper Obe Noir lost his life after being gunned down near downtown Houston in an “undeserving” killing.

*tumbleweed*,,,
How old exactly is Montana 22? Is he 22 or older? Just wondering because it says he had an 11 year old step son and a 7 year old son. That would be strange to have at 22
he was 41.
he was 41
Hey Coleone. Lolololol. We all know how you REALLY spell your name. Shout out to the snitches your biting ass crew makes beats for.
Live and rap by it, die by it.
Why would someone be held responsible? This isnwhat BLM has been fighting for. To get prision releases early. Mission accomplished. Blane BLM for focusing on prision releases and not upgrading citizens
Dude, the election is over. Like the previous election, BLM has disappeared outright since then. Haven’t you noticed? They’ll be back in 3 years and you can blame those hypocrites for everything then. You should probably shit on Biden right now. A safer bet for people who follow your reasoning.
Americans want the “right to own guns” in their constitution but cry when people get shot. Bruh. This is a problem that can be solved…but you gotta start by making guns illegal.
Word to Judge Judy. Criminals will definitely abide by that law and give up their guns immediately! You’re a brilliant legal scholar with a true understanding of human nature.
Tired of this concept right here, 99% of civilians ain’t Rambo or He-man regardless if you strapped or not. Until you’re in the situation you won’t know wtf you’d do…
This story is horrible. Please pray for use in Tennessee they just passed a law to allow carrying a handgun without a permit needed.
Thus story is tragic, and they just passed a law here in Tennessee to allow carrying a handgun without a permit . This is some crazy times
