A Virginia rapper who goes by the name of EGYPXN is currently making headlines after reportedly shooting his family before dropping a music video.
Per ABC 8 News, the young artist, Nee Tiye Adam Washington ll, broke into his mother’s house on Tuesday (March 28). He then let off shots into the home which hit his mother, Tyesha Hall, his 21-year-old sister, and his 12-year-old brother. According to the report Washington then left the scene and authorities launched a citywide search for the 26-year-old rapper.
After the alleged shooting Washington’s family members were transported to VCU Medical Critical Care to treat their life-threatening injuries. The family is still recovering. Just one day before shooting his family, Washington wrote a message to his followers on Instagram saying, “My last request from humanity is that you seriously evaluate the care you have for each other. If this species is to ever evolve you must stop eating animals, stop warring with each other and take care of mother earth,” he typed. “Overthrow this sadistic government and rebuild. On a fresh foundation. It’s time for me to rest now..”
After dropping his music video, police found the rapper on Thursday (March 30) in Rutherford County, North Carolina and shot and killed him during a standoff.
Family friends Tamara Harris and Roneece Walker-Jewett spoke about the shooting, confused at what could have incited such violence.
“To my knowledge, there were no issues that would have led to such a tragic event” Harris said. “I didn’t believe them, and I called [Hall’s] ex-husband, and he actually got on the scene,” Walker-Jewett said. “I can hear the paramedics in the background saying (…) ‘female, two shots to the chest.’”
Law enforcement has stated that the shooting remains under investigation.
The rapper dropped his music video 12 days ago which has gained over 30k views on Youtube with comments full of people talking about the shooting. One youtube under the video reads, “OMG I can’t believe someone would do this tp their family and then release a music video as if nothing happened.”
