HoneyKomb Brazy may be battling for his release after violating his probation in 2021, but his grandparents may finally obtain justice.
According to AL.com, four people have been charged with murder in connection with the February 2021 shooting that killed Leila and Tony Lewis. One of them is a drug lord who earlier surrendered a $24 million narcotics enterprise.
Darrin “DD” Jamark Southall, 39, Terrance Watkins, Jamarcus Chambers, and a fourth unidentified suspect have all been charged. In November 2021, Southhall pled guilty to running a narcotics empire in Mobile and was charged with multiple counts of firing into an occupied residence and homicide.
“We’re very grateful for the district attorney’s office to be able to, at this point, make and approve charges in light of the Mobile Police Department’s hard work and investigation to hold those responsible for this double murder to be held responsible under the law,” Mobile County Assistant District Attorney Louis Walker told Fox 10.
HoneyKomb paid tribute to his late grandparents on social media, stating that he urged them to leave Mobile so that they would no longer be considered targets as a result of his conduct during the slayings.
“Long live grandma n grandpa,” he wrote on February 18, 2021. “Y’all was my heart fr I put y’all in every song I hate y’all got caught up In my Shìt smh this Shìt hurt main I beg y’all to let me move y’all everyday but y’all Taught me how to be stand up guy y’all always told me If it’s our time it’s our time god got us that’s how ik y’all in heaven y’all baby boy got y’all fasho granny granny Ima miss u bad already n I’m a fasho miss smoking that gas gas wit u grandpa y’all save me a spot cause I’m most definitely coming to see y’all.”
Honeykomb’s life was not spared from violence after his grandparents were killed. In January, the rapper’s mother said that she was afraid for her life after a shooting at her home, which was not the first time since her parents’ deaths.
HoneyKomb gave followers an update on his living circumstances in November, describing the conditions inside an Alabama prison as “hellish.”
The Rap-A-Lot protégé claimed in a since-deleted post that he’d rather die than continue to live in such a circumstance, alleging racism, harassment, and more.
“This shit Brazy, n-gga then took all he can take,” he wrote. “N-gga will rather die than live like this fr #LongLiveGeorgeFloyd.”
