How did Zechariah the son of Barachiah died ?
Aside from the fact that the circumstances of the death of Zechariah ben Berechiah, the prophet and priest, are not given in the Hebrew Bible, this is irrelevant. Your question is, once again, a deflection.

The author of GMatt made a mistake, since both Zechariah ben Berechiah and Zechariah ben Yehoiada were priests, except that Zechariah ben Berechiah was also the prophet whose Book is part of the Hebrew Bible.

Matthew 23:35 clearly describes the circumstances depicted in 2Chronicles 24:20-21, except that the author of GMatt got the wrong Zechariah. This is just more evidence that this author didn't know much about the Hebrew Bible, let alone the Hebrew language or Judaism. Moreover, it is just another of the hundreds of mistakes in the GT that is, according to evangelicals such as you, the infallible word of the Creator.
