Popular Louisiana rapper JayDaYoungan was fatally shot in a double shooting late yesterday afternoon in Bogalusa. Bogalusa Police Chief Kendall Bullen says 24-year-old Javorius Scott along with a relative were shot while sitting on the front porch of a home on Superior Avenue.
“Javorius Scott was transferred to the local hospital by ambulance where he underwent emergency surgery and later died of his wounds,” said Bullen.
The other person shot, Kenyatta Scott Senior, is listed in stable condition at a nearby hospital. Bullen says they are still looking for the gunman.
“Suspect got out by foot from the rear of the residence, came around front and fired the shots,” said Bullen.
Bullen says the fatal shooting of JayDaYoungan has sparked other shootings in Bogalusa.
“While working this scene we had another shooting, which we feel was related, a few hours later we had third shooting which we feel was related,” said Bullen.
Bullen says his detectives made an arrest last night that stopped a subsequent shooting. He hopes to make an additional arrests including the person who killed Scott. JayDaYoungan has a large social media presence and is known for his singles, “23 Island,” “Elimination” and “Opps.”
