Three Michigan rappers who went missing after a canceled concert earlier this month have been found dead inside an abandoned apartment in Detroit.
According to ClickOnDetroit, police believe the three bodies found in a Highland Park apartment on Thursday (February 2) are Armani Kelly (27), Montoya Givens (31) and Dante Wicker (31), who had been missing for almost two weeks.
Detroit News reports the investigators were led to the area after obtaining the three men’s cellular data, with their phones pinging to an area near the large abandoned apartment complex.
They were reportedly found in the basement beneath old construction equipment and had been shot.
The rappers were set to perform at Lounge 31 on Gratiot Avenue on Detroit’s east side on January 21, but the show was reportedly canceled due to a problem with equipment.
Armani Kelly informed his fiancée the event was no longer happening, and was planning to meet up with others and possibly find open mic events. However, texts, calls and Facebook messages went unanswered sometime after 7:30 p.m.
Last week, police arrested a 15-year-old who was driving Kelly’s 2017 Chevrolet Equinox without a license plate. According to a Detroit police source, the teen told police that a man had told him to pick up the car on Schoolcraft on Detroit’s west side.
Police discovered calls and texts that led them to a man who lives on Ashton on Detroit’s northwest side. The man — who had an outstanding warrant involving alleged fraud — was taken into custody for questioning on Monday (January 30).
Around 9 p.m. Thursday, Michigan police sent their forensics unit inside the Highland Park building to begin collecting evidence, but said it would be a slow process due to rat-infested conditions.
While police haven’t officially confirmed their identities, Kelly’s mother said she was alerted by authorities about the discovery. Hours before police found the bodies, Kelly’s mother revealed in an interview that she believed her son was dead.
“All I want is someone to tell me where he’s at so we can go home and I can lay him to rest,” she said. “Deep in my gut and in my soul and in my heart, he’s gone.”
Givens’ mother also said: “They told me they found the three bodies. I don’t know what I’m going to do; how I’m going to bury him.”
This is some sick low down and dirty scum of the earth type of sh*t..
R.I.P. to these guys. Smh
When do the parents start being held accountable for raising these pieces of shit.. I’m sick of parents raising these bums and normalizing it. At the very least when your gang banger kid dies don’t go on the news trying to make the world stop for your family
They were rappers. Not gangsters. What are you talking about? How about did your mother ever teach you if you don’t have anything nice to say to hush your mouth? Maybe you are the one with the ill upbringing. Rest in peace to the brothers and condolences to their families.
Oh yeah im sure the killers wernt african american LOL One of the victims was In prision for 8 years.. didn’t look into the other 2.. obv it’s a community issue these ghetto wanna be gangsters city to city in america that’s .normalized.. time 1 start putting heat on these parents…

Yep and the scumbag should rot .we don’t champion these people..whilte community wants these trailer trash whites gone!
You sound like a hole bitch L to L
Learn the difference between whole and hole dumbass
Whole political party normalizes these people. Wtf are you talking about? The white thug insurrectionists are heroes? The white mass shooters? But I’ll bet you don’t want to be lumped in with the dummies who do that, so why are you trying to lump all black people in with the lowlives who glorify these people?
Sound like? I think it’s confirmed

black excellence
White, black or brown – why are we arguing over who killed who? Murder is murder it is WRONG REGARDLESS. The society we live in has become so conditioned and numb to these daily occurrences whether it is a white dude mass murdering or black on black crime or gang wars which can include EVERY RACE known to mankind.
It is very sad that these 3 men lost their lives, whatever their history may have been and now their families are left to grieve. When will we finally end this cycle?
We absolutely need to hold more accountability within our communities and the way we raise our youth. Just like we need to also be more sympathetic to each other and stop tearing each other down when tragedy hits

I hear a lot of hold the parents accountable. These young adults are out making their own decisions. As a parent you can teach your child one way and they go in the opposite direction of what you’re teaching them. You can’t really raise your kids how parents use to back when I was a kid. If you say something to someone else’s kid, the parents ready to fight even if their kid is wrong. We live in a sad world right now. I don’t want parents held accountable for the actions of their children, they know better. We all were kids once most of us have seem to forgot that. I did things at school that I would never do in front of my parents. We are not the same when we leave our parents presence. The people that committed the crime needs to be held accountable. You are not with your kids 24/7 so there is no way that you know what they are doing every second of the day. Hold the parents accountable is bull shit.
I’m sure they were gud bois who din du nufin, yo. Musta been some maga hat wearing white supremacists who lynched these gud bois!
