“We can now identify the victims as Javorius Scott, A.K.A. Jay da Youngin, and his father, Kenyatta Scott Sr.,” the police statement reads. “We can also confirm that Javorius Scott has died as a result of his injuries. Kenyatta Scott 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.”

The BPD initially reported the crime as a double shooting via a press release on Facebook early Wednesday evening. “On Wednesday, July 27th, 2022 at 5:50 pm the Bogalusa Police Department received a call of a shooting in the 600 block of Superior Avenue,” they revealed in their initial statement.

When reports of the shooting began to circulate across social media on Wednesday, a woman believed to be JayDaYoungan’s sister hit up Twitter to react to the news. While the woman, who goes by @kenyajanelll on the app, didn’t deny that the shooting happened, she was quick to dispel rumors that the rhymer had died in a series of tweets.

“Bitch, shut up,” wrote kenyaJ. “Y’all don’t know what the fuck y’all talking ’bout [for real]
