The Motive Behind the 10-Year-Old Boy’s Death
According to hiphopdx, the 10-year-old boy and his “adult male relative” were allegedly shot by Drayton aka 23 Brazy on August 10 after she entered his house with a group of people and started arguing with him.
According to a United States Marshals spokesperson, “During the altercation [Drayton] produced a firearm and started shooting, striking both the victims.” The 10-year-old victim was brought by a relative to another home in the 300 Block of Artis Street, where he was discovered by the police, fire, and emergency medical personnel.
It’s unclear what started the fight between the Virginia rapper and the boy’s male relative.
Chief Steve Patterson said in a statement posted on Facebook, “This a very sad day for the City of Franklin, Any loss of life is unwarranted but for a 10-year-old to be the victim of violent crime is unacceptable and we as a community must come together and end this senselessness.”
