Comedian Brandon “Boogie B” Montrell gained popularity for his videos on social media, including the New Orleans “Hood History” series, which discussed the city's figures, places and culture.
NEW ORLEANS — A suspect has been arrested in connection with the slaying of New Orleans comedian Brandon “Boogie B” Montrell, authorities said.
Cowart was found in Houston and will be extradited to New Orleans to face a charge of second-degree murder, New Orleans Police said. It was unknown if he has an attorney who could speak on his behalf. He gained popularity for his videos on social media, including the New Orleans “Hood History” series, which discussed the city's figures, places and culture. He had been pursuing his entertainment career in Los Angeles but had returned home for the holidays.
“He’s the victim of decades of neglect that have left New Orleans’ youth with no hope for a future and with no real fear of consequences. It’s past time for leaders in our city and all over to do their jobs. It matters who the president is, who the governor is, and who the mayor is. Leaders create opportunities – including the opportunity to live in peace without fear of random violence.”
