Dean Whyte, the promoter and a close friend of well-known heavyweight fighter Dillian Whyte, recently experienced a devastating blow when he lost his kid due to a gangland shooting.

Lamar, a.k.a. Rapper Perm, the son of Dean Whyte, was shot in Brixton after being pursued by another vehicle from behind. On October 30, the incident happened in south London. In addition, as the rapper was rushing quickly to save his life, his car killed another innocent man.

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.

Detective Chief Inspector Sal Minhas said, “Our thoughts continue to be with the family and friends of Guilherme and Lamar and we are working around the clock to identify and arrest those involved in this incident. The death of these two young men is a stark reminder of the work we need to do to tackle violent crime in our communities.”

Furthermore, just a few months back, even Tyson Fury shared the tragic news of his cousin being stabbed and killed. He pleaded with the general public and the government to bring strict norms for such crimes, and we as a society need to pay attention to it as well.
