With a voice that could only come from New Orleans, comedian Brandon “Boogie B” Montrell gave lessons in “Hood History” and made people laugh across the country. Montrell was killed Friday evening. He was parked in the Rouses parking lot on Baronne Street in New Orleans’ Warehouse District when a stray bullet struck and killed him. Friends say he was visiting home for the holidays. “We get people who leave New Orleans and be like ‘Well, I gotta lost the accent or, you know, I got to look a certain way, I have to act a little bougie.’ He was never like that,” New Orleans Attorney Juan Lafonta said. “He always embraced who he was and everywhere he went he was a light for the city.” Lafonta and Montrell were long time friends. Before Montrell found his calling in comedy, the two worked together at a local club. That was back when “Boogie B” was a dancer, working with the likes of Hotboy Ronald. He even recorded the hit song “Catch the Wall.” MORE: https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/orleans/new-orleans-comedian-brandon-boogie-b-montrell-shot/289-f5d28fb3-0bc8-4187-b6ab-e8ccd0967cde
