'I saw him drop:' alleged killer celebrated homicide with a rap

FORT WAYNE, Ind. --All it took was a bump to the shoulder in the hallway and guns were drawn.

It was November, 27, 2020 at The Muse on Main, a place on West Main Street where local talent was welcomed on the stage.

And there was security. But that night Cameron Starks, now 24, and two buddies knew security, who let them in with their weapons. 

Shamon Little aka “Homer” was killed that night. Dr. Kent Harshbarger, a forensic pathologist said Little died of a gunshot wound to the head, according to the probable cause.

One of the challenges Fort Wayne detectives faced was identifying the shooter. It was a popular club, lots of people there and there were these three guys traveling in a pack, one of whom was Starks.

Who was the shooter? The victim’s brother refused to talk, court documents said, even though his father pressed him to.

Detectives got in touch with a guy who was locked up with “Boog,” at the Huntington County Jail, where federal inmates are sometimes held. Boog was with Starks at The Muse and Boog was talking to other federal inmates. He claimed, even bragged, he was the shooter, court documents said.

The jail “snitch” said Boog, the talker, said the three of them took off running after Little was killed and there were no surveillance cameras at the club.

Fort Wayne homicide detectives Brian Martin, Geraud Bartels and Jean Gigli brought in the feds to interview the Huntington inmate. 

This inmate recalled that in a conversation he heard in June 2023, someone the group called “Big Flame” aka Lil Ray aka DB, YG, Cam Starks and Boog got into a fight that led them to shoot S-Dot’s brother. 

“S-Dot” is Shon Little, the victim’s brother and the one who saw his brother lying on the hallway floor at The Muse, court documents said.

The same FBI Task Force, known to track gang activity, interviewed another inmate at the Huntington County Jail who had been held at the same time as “Boog.” 

His information was that the three were on their way out of the club and saw “Homer” walk out of the men’s room and get into an argument with them “over an old beef.”

This inmate claimed that Boog said Homer “swung at them” and they all “upped their guns and shot.”

Boog told the inmate that they all fled in different directions after the shooting, but met up afterwards to turn over their guns to one person to get rid of them. The murder weapon has never been found, court documents said.

At that time, “Cam” claimed the kill, but Boog thought he was the one who killed Homer. 

Yet another Huntington County inmate was interviewed who told the Task Force that Boog and “his associates” and Big Flame and his associates had a “prior disagreement.” His recollection corroborated the disagreement in the hallway that led to the shooting and yet again, portrayed Boog as the one who killed Homer.

Finally, it was time to talk to Boog and offer a proffer agreement. There for the interview on March 14, 2025 were Assistant U.S. attorney Anthony Geller, Task Force Officer Gavin Dambra and Michelle Kraus, a federal public defender.

Boog said he and Starks and the third man were hanging out at his home in Waynedale when they decided to go to The Muse to hear some local rappers.

They weren’t anticipating any drama, but took their guns. There was a selective pat down at the door and Boog gave up his tan Glock 19x 9mm with a 50-round drum magazine, because it was hard to conceal.

Security gave it back to him. Starks had a “45” i.e. .45 caliber gun, he said.

Inside, it seemed the atmosphere was getting tense and that people were “mean mugging” them, meaning giving them “mean” looks. He made the decision to leave, he said.

On the way out, they bumped into Big Flame and his associates. There was no conflict until they encountered Shon Little who lowered his shoulder and bumped into them on purpose. 

It was disrespect and Boog, Starks and the third man complained about it to Shamon Little, Flame and another. Shamon Little took a swing at them and “Ray” pushed Little against the wall.

Boog observed Starks draw his gun and point it at Shamon and was the only one who fired even though the other two had their guns out. He said Shamon “jumped” in front of the bullet during the chaos, and was killed. 

Boog said he and the other guy pointed their guns downward, but he got bumped and his gun went off shooting his friend in the leg, court documents said.

Later, he took the injured friend to the hospital. Cam Starks took credit for the shooting and told his two friends, “I saw him drop,” Boog explained, court documents said.

A week after the homicide, Boog was pulled over in a traffic stop in New Haven. FWPD seized a tan Glock 9mm handgun with the same 50-round drum magazine.

Starks gave his gun to his brother, YG, who got rid of it, Boog said.

Brazenly, maybe stupidly, once this entire case is adjudicated, Starks recorded a rap song about the homicide, called either “Headshot” or “45.” Recall that Starks was carrying a .45, according to Boog.

Martin, who did much of his investigative work on this cold case this year, probably to dust it off and take another look, took a listen to Starks’ rap on Friday, July 18.

“I was able to view the files tab of Witness 4’s (the talker) cell phone. I was able to view a file named “BOG CAM 4FIVE. I was able to listen to the song and hear the rapper bragging about shooting someone with a 45 Cal gun. 

“The song was recorded on 10-27-2021 which is the one year anniversary of the Shamon Little homicide at the “Muse on Main.”

That’s cold.

Starks is currently incarcerated at Westville Correctional Facility on a handgun violation and cocaine possession. 

A warrant was issued for his arrest and he is likely to appear in Allen Superior Court for his initial hearing on a charge of murder very soon.
