Montrel Lenard Burley, 40, was later identified as one of two murder suspects wanted in connection to BTB Savage’s death. Burley was reportedly charged with murder and remains at large.

When news of Burley’s alleged involvement spread, fans began looking into his past and found that he himself had been an aspiring rapper. Closer inspection revealed that Burley went by the moniker Versus 600, and just last month dropped a music video for “Pain Is Love, which was dedicated to Omar “Stew Wop” Richardson.

Richardson was then revealed to be the man BTB Savage and his girlfriend killed in self-defense during an alleged robbery at his San Antonio home, which he spoke about extensively in an interview with VladTV.

“He like, ‘I been trying to do this for a long time, bro. You been bullshitting.’ I’m like, ‘Alright, bet,’” BTB said of Richardson, who initially arrived at his home under the guise of recording music together.

“We go inside the crib and [him and his uncle] just talking and shit, looking around. I figured it was kind of weird they were looking around walking into my crib … but I didn’t pay it no mind. I was just kinda like, ‘C’mon, let’s get this out the way.’ I’m gonna go and knock this out 30 seconds rapping real quick then I’m done. I ain’t tripping.”

He continued: “His uncle, he pulled out some bread and was like, ‘Oh we ain’t on that…you don’t gotta lock the doors or nothing like that. I’m a grown man. While he talking, he asking about my chain, like, ‘What jeweler you go to?’ Blah blah blah.

“And I told him, ‘Yeah, I dropped a bag on this one.’ And then right as I’m talking, I go down to look at my piece while he talking…that’s when he upped and pulled on me and he was like, ‘Run that.’”

Ultimately, BTB Savage was able to wrestle the gun out of the man’s hand before his girlfriend fired the fatal shots.

Shortly after his death, BTB Savage’s mother, Bernita Ward, issued a statement calling her son a “good-hearted, amazing rapper, veteran, father, and a man who loved his family.”

She told KPRC 2 he served in the military for four years. During his deployment in Korea, he learned to rap and decided to pursue music.

“I’ll never forget when you call me and he’s like, ‘Mom, you want to hear my song?’ and I was like, ‘Your song? Boy, you can’t sing,’” she said. “That took me by surprise.” According to Ward, her son moved to Houston earlier this year to be closer to his manager and producer.
