Murder conviction In January 2022 Monteiro was arrested with Siyad Mohamud (known as SWavey) in Nairobi, Kenya, where they had fled after committing a murder in London, and deported to Britain. They both appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday 31 January 2022 and were remanded in custody, charged with the 2019 murder of 16-year-old Alex Smith. According to the prosecutor, Monteiro and Mohamud were part of a group of six who were seen driving around in stolen vehicles looking for rival gang members to attack. Upon spotting Alex Smith, a member of the rival Cumbo Pagans gang, the group carried out a "planned and sustained" assault, and he was chased on foot and fatally stabbed in a nearby street.

Monteiro and Mohamud were tried at the Old Bailey, convicted, and on 12 May 2023, sentenced to life imprisonment, Monteiro for a minimum of 24 years. The judge described the murder as an example of a "needless loss of a teenage life", and added that Monteiro and Mohamud had set out to kill their victim, then "fled the jurisdiction, escaped justice and celebrated the killing" by posting videos about the stabbing online.
