Rapper Charged in Richmond Shooting

Bay Area rapper TearItOff Greezy, Rene Goldie Fiapoto, faces murder and conspiracy charges for the 2021 killing of Derrick McDougal at a Richmond gas station. Prosecutors leverage digital evidence, gang ties, and his own lyrics—claiming his rap references to multiple shots were misleading—to build a case. A Jeep linked to the Tre-4 gang, allegedly connected to Fiapoto, was used in the crime, and a woman who stole it later sold it to Fiapoto’s girlfriend’s sister. One co-suspect, currently incarcerated, reportedly took credit for the murder online. Despite defense claims of weak evidence and grainy surveillance, a judge approved probable cause for trial, noting the lower burden of proof at this stage.
