JayDaYoungan has been shot and killed in his Louisiana hometown.
On Wednesday night, JayDaYoungan and a family member have been reportedly shot in their state of residence of Louisiana (July 27).
According to the Bogalusa Police Department, the 24-year-old rapper was carried by helicopter to a local Bogalusa hospital, where he died. According to those close to the case, he wasn't breathing when emergency services arrived.
“We can now identify the victims as Javorius Scott, A.K.A. JayDaYoungan, and close family member Kenyatta Scott Sr.,” the Facebook post reads. “We can also confirm that Javorius Scott has died as a result of his injuries.
“Kenyatta Scott Sr. has been transported to another facility and we have been told he is in stable condition. Detectives are currently conducting interviews and working with leads. Further information will follow as it becomes available.”

" This is an update to the press release of a shooting earlier tonight. We can now identify the victims as Javorius Scott, A.K.A. JayDaYoungan, and close family member Kenyatta Scott Sr. We can also confirm that Javorius Scott has died as a result of his injuries. Kenyatta Scott Sr. has been transported to another facility and we have been told he is in stable condition. Detectives are currently conducting interviews and working leads. Further information will follow as it becomes available. "
Reports JayDaYoungan had died from his injuries before his death was officially publicized, which evidently piqued the interest of the rapper's sister, who swiftly tweeted, "AINT NOBODY FUCKING DEAD STOP DICK EATING AND GO READ BOOK."
But as the hours passed, her tweets became increasingly ominous, ending with "MY FUCKING BABY DAWG." She ended with multiple broken hearts and weeping emoticons, implying the worst.
According to Fox 8, the Bogalusa Police Department got a call at 5:50 p.m. local time reporting a gunshot in the 600 block of Superior Avenue. When police arrived, they located a gravely injured individual who was treated on the scene by EMS before being transferred to a nearby hospital. Another sufferer was transported to a nearby hospital by private vehicle. They did not, however, reveal their identities.
