Rapper Juvenile's Daughter Murdered

Posted Feb 29th 2008 6:54PM by TMZ Staff

Cops in Georgia arrested a 17-year-old boy on Friday and charged him with killing his mother, who was a local sheriff's deputy, and his two small sisters. One of those little girls was the daughter of rapper Juvenile.

Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr. allegedly gunned down his mother, Gwinnett County Sheriff's Deputy Joy Deleston, 39, and her two daughters, Micaiah, 11, and Jelani, 4.

Jelani was Juvenile's daughter. In 2003, the rapper, whose real name is Terius Gray, was arrested for abandonment of a dependent child after a DNA test determined he was the father.

Terrell, a sophomore at Central Gwinnett High School, has been charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault. He is currently being held in the DeKalb County Jail.

UPDATE: A statement was released to TMZ saying, "Juvenile was extremely saddened to hear the reports. As a private matter he has no further comment."

4. Well, my question is.. if Juvenile abandoned the girl as his own, what does he really care? I'm sure he'll be upset, but nobody can sit here and say OH POOR JUVENILE!! because he's the one that left her. Unless he was involved in her life, he has no reason to milk this thing at all.

14. While Sharpton and Jackson are being the race police, 25,000 black men have been killed over the last 7 years, and we talk about Iraq.

What an ignorant statement to make. SHE WAS HIS CHILD! Reguardless of wether he was the father of the year she was his blood and he is going to feel this loss deep. You should be ashamed of yourself.

May they all rest in peace
