A delivery lad named Guilherme Messias Da Silva was killed when Lamar’s automobile hit him as he was making the final delivery of his shift. The young boy, who was just 21 years old and finishing up his work, never would have dreamed that he would face something roughly comparable before returning home.
People share posts for the two deceased
The rapper’s father, Whyte, who is also Dillian White’s promoter, shared a heartfelt story on Instagram and wrote, “R.I.P my boy. Daddy loves u. Life has changed forever.” Even the boxer added the story on his Instagram to share his remorse.
Guilherme’s colleagues later revealed that he was just about to finish his shift before his tragic death. He was living in the UK for two years, and he was a native of Petrolina de Goias in Brazil. His colleague stated, “He was a very nice guy. It is so sad. He had planned to return to Brazil soon, but it will not happen now.”
Authorities reveal details about the incident
It is still unclear who shot Lamar in Brixton after pursuing his car and shooting him down. It appears that the murderer fled after killing the rapper. So far, no one has been arrested. The Metropolitan police are actively looking into the crime and are willing to speak with anyone with information.
