Three young aspiring rappers were killed on Tuesday night
June 5th in Jacksonville, Florida while another was left in a critical
condition after multiple shots were fired into a car on Town Center Parkway,
just off Interstate 295.
According to Lt. Craig Waldrup of Jacksonville Sheriff's
Office, one person died at the scene, the other two died at the hospital, while
the fourth identified as Yungeen Ace is currently in critical condition.
Those killed were identified as Trevon Bullard, 18; Royale
D’Von Smith Jr., 18; and Jercoby Da’Shad Groover, 19.
The Jacksonville Police in a statement said it's unclear
exactly what led to the violence, but investigators said a vehicle pulled up
next to the victims' car, and at least one person inside opened fire before
driving off.
Sheriff Mike Williams described the incident as an example
of what happens to some young adults involved in the wrong end of the music
industry.
Didn't the tradition of rappers shooting themselves die with Tupac and Biggie?
Too sad for the families of these promising young men...
May their souls rest in peace.
