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.”

One of the suspects in HoneyKomb Brazy’s grandparents’ murder in February was also arrested on narcotics charges earlier this year. Darrin Southall, according to WKRG, consented to a plea agreement that will likely land him in prison for 30 to 35 years.

“So having him take a plea with significant jail time associated with that plea means a lot to this community as a whole for someone like him not to be able to be back on the streets,” Mobile’s Public Safety Director Lawrence Battiste said.

“When you’ve got two major interstates, we are a major connect from where drugs are being transported from primarily. Oftentimes, many of those drugs find those ways into our communities simply because we are a major thoroughfare for those drugs to make their way to other places.”

HoneyKomb Brazy was remanded in custody after his bond was canceled after a court saw 15 clips showing him with guns or narcotics, which was a blatant breach of his probation. After spending just 18 months of his 15-year sentence, he was sentenced to serve the remainder of his term before being freed in November 2020.

Emergency responders discovered the 26-year-grandparents old’s dead on February 17 after their Happy Hill neighborhood house was engulfed in flames. Witnesses claim to have heard gunfire coming from the residence.

HoneyKomb Brazy subsequently intimated that his actions may have resulted in an Instagram post mocking his grandparents. Southall was also mentioned as a person of interest in the double homicide, although no arrest has been made.

“I wish the Judge had denied the State’s motion to revoke [HoneyKomb Brazy’s] probation,” defense attorney Jeff Deen said. “His creativity influences and inspires others in his social circle. However, I can understand the judge’s opinion. He conducted a 2 1/2 hour hearing and then took three weeks to review the evidence presented which included a plethora of videos.

“Even if the guns, dope and alcohol weren’t real in the videos, I can see why the judge could conclude that HoneyKomb’s the depiction of drugs, guns, alcohol and misogyny would not be conduct becoming of a probationer.”
