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."

16. I AM in Canada right now, Ontario to be exact and we have these same type of shootings. It's sad. 17 years old and he's killed two of his half siblings and his mother. Who cares about any Rappers? We don't have as many guns here but there are enough. We have had many school shootings unfortunately too. You can get a gun if you want one bad enough.

17. that's awful but i'm not worried about Juvenile. he denied his own kid.

Posted at 7:33PM on Feb 29th 2008 by He has to be insane! Who would kill 2 children?

18. Horrible!! The mother must have been decent to work as a deputy, and those poor little kids. What is wrong with our youth?? Shootings, killings everywhere. Where I live, a kid just killed his parents, and they were decent people. They are still trying to establish a motive.

19. It is a shame that people can be so insensitive. A mother and two innocent children were murdered. It shouldn't matter what race they were or who were involved. It cracks me up how people find "courage" behind their computer screens to voice racist opinions or remarks. Trevor you are just a waste of space on this board and YOU are the one who apparantly has the "issues" - now go and comment on THAT!!

20. ok last comment before your ignorance become contagious. Comment for # 15 sounds like that’s something your use to. Did you drop the soap often while in juvenile hall? Or maybe it was your uncle hillbilly that had you bent over. Which ever I’m sorry for you as well.

21. Whatever your opinion is about guns, race and dead-beat dads please remember that two little children were murdered today. Those girls had Grandparents, friends, Aunts & Uncles that have to live on without ever seeing them again. I enjoy reading about stupid celebrities acting like fools. I have to say I am really disappointed in the people who can say awful things about children that were murdered.

23. lets all vote for obama then it wont be illegal for bruthas to kill people anymore and we wont have to read stories like this anymore. the sad thing is they all still say whitey is keeping them down not the fact that they kill each other just for being from a different neighborhood

24. And all of those Obama comments are not necessary, like I said before, you all are BIG and BAD behind your computer screens, making all of these racist remarks....however, we all know that when it comes down to it, there would be nothing you would do or say if you were in the presence of even one black person. Closet racists....give me a break.

25. Not a fan of his, but this is heartbreaking. I'm so tired of hearing about violence against helpless children...

29. When things like this happen it goes on and on in the media like these animals are some famous person. Of course it drives it into kids heads that it's cool and the easy way out. Violence is the in thing and it's now the trend.

30. Senseless act of violence no matter who the victim is. I hope they try him as an adult.
