Then, early in the morning on June 18th, 2019, Tyreek's behavior got scary. His parents woke up to find Tyreek standing in the kitchen holding a sledgehammer, talking again about someone lurking outside. Tyreek's dad was alarmed. He lunged at Tyreek and grabbed hold of the handle. The two struggled for control of the hammer. Tyreek's mom was terrified. She called 911.

And as she was talking to dispatchers, she was trying to calm down Tyreek.

Help arrived in the form of an ambulance, but there were also police officers who arrested Tyreek and took him to DCP. Nine days later, Tyreek's parents went to the courthouse for their son's preliminary hearing. But when they arrived and announced who they were, they weren't ushered inside the courtroom. Instead, a police officer approached them. There was no hearing.

Tyreek was in the ICU at Harrisburg Hospital. He was unconscious, and he never woke up. On July 1st, Tyreek was declared dead. Now, Lamont was trying to figure out what the hell had happened to Tyreek. He called one of his contacts at DCP.

A struggle. Lamont felt there had to be more. A prisoner being transferred to the emergency room would have generated a lot of paperwork. Maybe Lamont's source was holding back. Or maybe Lamont's source hadn't been given all the information himself.

And for some people, that might have been it. They might say, hey, I tried. It's not happening. But not Lamont. He had made it through a lot of challenges in his life, some of his own making. Lamont had spent 11 years behind bars, some of that time at DCP itself. He sold cocaine in his teens and 20s and made a lot of money.

He drove around town in a white Cadillac DeVille, the very picture of a street corner badass. But it had major consequences for him. Lamont was in prison when his kids were growing up, and when he got out, he found that no one was eager to hire a convicted felon. Lamont was done with that life, and now he spent his time trying to steer young black men away from making the decisions he had.

But he also learned a lot in those years, hustling and fighting for his piece of turf. He adopted an alter ego. His street name was Montmont.

Lamont left prison for the last time more than a decade ago, but he's not completely done with Montmont.
