JayDaYoungan's father Kenyatta Scott revealed further details behind the circumstances that led to his son's death. Scott said that his son was killed by five gunmen and that he was present when the incident happened.

The father-son duo were sitting in front of their residence in Louisiana on Wednesday. A black truck suddenly stopped in front of them and three people came out with guns. Although the duo tried to rush inside their house, two more people came from the other side and shot at them.

Scott was armed and shot back to save himself and his son. However, he was shot twice in the arm, and his son eight times. The rapper lost a lot of blood and although he underwent surgery, he lost his life at the hospital. Meanwhile, Scott is still in the hospital.

According to Scott, his son's death has been a result of jealousy that emerged as a result of his popularity in Bogalusa. Scott also clarified that his son did not have any enemies and neither had he known the gunmen.

Bogalusa Police Chief Kendall Bullen said that they are investigating the motive behind the incident and think there was only one shooter. No one has been arrested as of now.
