Original Possessed guitarist Brian Montana, who performed on the band’s 1984 demo, Death Metal, but left the group later that year, has been killed in a stand-off with police in South San Francisco. He was 60.
According to The Daily Journal, the incident occurred around 6 PM on April 28, when officers responded to a call on Arroyo Drive.
According to a press release from the South San Francisco Police Department, the shooting suspect, Brian Montana, “fired at officers from different locations within the driveway while seeking cover and concealment using both vehicles in the driveway and landscaping.” Two officers fired their weapons, leaving Montana dead at the scene.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said Montana became upset over his neighbor’s tree branches and leaves spilling into his yard. The altercation escalated with the suspect shooting multiple weapons, including a handgun, shotgun and rifle.
“On the shooter’s side, there was some alcohol involved,” Wagstaffe said. “His death is a tragedy, but it’s fortunate that nobody else wasn’t hit or injured more seriously.”
