Famed producer Bandplay, who is known for his work on projects with Key Glock and Young Dolph, experienced tragedy after his dad and stepmother, 56-year-old Christopher Gaines and 51-year-old Katrina Gaines, were brutally murdered. In more shocking news, authorities believe Bandplay’s brother, Demondra Gaines, is behind the grisly murders.
The incident happened in Columbia, Tennessee, which Captain Jeremy Haywood addressed in a press conference, stating, “The Columbia Police Department is aggressively investigating the tragic double-homicide. Investigators worked throughout the night processing the crime scene and developing leads in this case. Evidence recovered from this crime scene proves the death of Christopher and Katrina Gaines to be the result of a brutal stabbing attack on the couple and that their 27-year-old son, Demondra Gaines, is responsible for this attack upon these two individuals.”
Demondra Gaines reportedly fled the scene of the murder in a 2018 Altima belonging to Katrina Gaines, and was apprehended on Tuesday (April 19) night at a motel with the stolen Altima. He is being charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault resulting in death. Gaines also faces a charge for the theft of a motor vehicle.
Bandplay confirmed the death of his father and stepmother on his Instagram page after he shared a screenshot of a story about their death along with a broken heart. He also shared a screenshot from another article revealing that there will be a vigil held for Christopher and Katrina.
