Last year, it was reported that rapper LottaCash Desto, real name Destinee Govan, was shot and killed while in Houston. The death of the Texas rapper caught many by surprise, as she was working with Lil Uzi Vert ahead of her death. 

The rapper was reportedly killed following the Porsche SUV that she was in being riddled with bullets. At the time of the shooting, HPD Assistant Chief Wyatt Martin said, “We don't have any information about motive at this time. It could be road rage. It could have been a robbery. We just don't know, and we don't have enough information at this time to make a determination.” However, news surfaced noting two suspects have been arrested and charged for the shooting of Govan. 

19-year-old Jeremyah Smith and 24-year-old Christian Williams were charged with murder for the shooting of Desto. Evidence at the scene connected Williams to the crime because he was shot in the stomach during the reported incident. The suspect was found across the street from the shooting and was taken to the hospital by police.  

Smith was arrested in March 2023 after being identified as the second suspect. Police arrested Smith in Alexandra, Louisiana, without incident, then extradited the 19-year-old to Texas where he was booked. The bond for Williams was set at $150,000, while Smith's was set at $500,000.
