A 24-year-old rapper Javorius Scott was fatally shot in front of a home in Bogalusa, Louisiana. A member of the rapper’s family was shot in a different incident. Police officers are looking at the occurrences to see whether there is a connection between them. The rapper soon passed away from his wounds. The relative is currently in stable condition, according to the police. When the rapper’s death was officially announced, a family member’s first denial of the reports was quickly replaced, according to Bogalusa Police.
According to the authorities, the rapper JayDaYoungan, whose true name is Javorius Tykies Scott, was shot and killed. Another gunshot occurred on Marshall Richardson Road while authorities tended to the gravely injured singer and controlled a very chaotic scene. The 24-year-old rapper is claimed to have been shot in the first incident, which is said to have taken place just before 6 o’clock in the evening outside a residence on Superior Avenue. Kenyatta Scott Sr., a relative of JayDaYoungan, was admitted to the hospital and was listed in stable condition, according to the police. No one has been connected to the shootings as of yet, but the inquiry is ongoing.
On their Facebook page, the Bogalusa Police Department posted the following statement: “This is a follow-up to the shooting press release from earlier tonight.
