DJ Quik’s son was reportedly arrested this week on felony murder charges following a deadly fight in Downey, California, roughly 13 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
According to MSN, David Blake Jr. — who serves as the liaison to Compton Councilman Isaac Galvan — was taken into custody a day after officers responded to the 13200 Block of Carfax Avenue due to a fight in progress. As police were on the way to the scene, they received another report of shots fired. Once they arrived, they discovered 33-year-old Julio Cardoza suffering from a single gunshot wound.
Cardoza was transported to a local hospital where he ultimately died from his injuries. Following a brief investigation, Blake was identified as the suspected and handcuffed at 4 a.m. on Thursday (May 26) in the city of Porter Ranch. Downey Police Department records show Blake is currently being held on a $2 million bond.
DJ Quik’s family endured another challenging period in 2013 when the Compton rap legend’s daughter, Davieanna Marlena Blake, was charged with the murder of her 2-year-old son. The child’s body was found outside of her Phoenix apartment, and police arrested both Davieanna and the father of the child Darnell Moses Alvarez.
A witness told investigators they’d heard Alvarez disciplining the child for wetting himself or the bed, and it sounded like the child was being spanked. The witness described the discipline as “excessive.”
The child was found with multiple bruises on his legs, arms, buttocks, back and face. Alvarez allegedly struck the child with a leather belt, and Blake failed to intervene out of fear of upsetting Alvarez more.

After Davieanna returned from work, she said her son was lethargic, had multiple bruises then stopped breathing while the couple argued over taking their son to the hospital. Alvarez admitted to police he hit the child with a woven belt earlier that day after he soiled himself.
An autopsy showed the child suffered a lacerated liver, severe internal bleeding and multiple bruising throughout his body, inconsistent with being struck with a belt only. Both parents were arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of child abuse and first-degree murder.
As for DJ Quik, he has yet to comment on his son’s situation. His latest Instagram post is simply a video of himself driving and listening to music. As for Blake, he periodically performs under the rap moniker D. Blake. His latest single, “Official,” was released in October 2021.
Gangster rapper legacy. Psycho kids n a lot of death.
Snoop’s kid even got caught spitshining his homeboys throbbing love knob. Jokes about your Jimmy, right?
You really want gay, check out Tupac transformation on YouTube. They have him wearing a leotard in dance acting class talking about how he can’t get a woman because he is too nice. Obviously this is before he went to prison for raayping one.
It’s not Pac, that’s actually on of your old home videos. You’re just too young to remember. Also, aren’t you a pedophile anyways?
Wait till these guys see the video of 2pac entering a claustrophobic bathroom with 3 white men for a bathtub photoshoot before stripping down COMPLETELY. Or the image of him standing butt naked in front of Money B and some other dude at a party in ’91. Or the image of him in a range rover holding a dude’s hand. Or the… nah I’ll stop. It amazes me how 2pac riders actually think he wasn’t down for that sus industry shi just because he had a thug image or whatever
@Gelo
sounds just like white america legacy…spoilt little pink psycopathic european spin-offs hiding behind their firearms and a lot of dead school children…the ones who don’t die get molested.
That’s rough Quik. I remember seeing the shit about his daughter. Dude is an incredibly underrated MC and producer. His beats are ridiculous. I hope the O.G. Is doing well during these trying times. Your music has inspired so many, and you are a west coast Icon.
None of this shit would happen to some rappers – Quik included – if they would spend some quality time with their kids to teach and educate them. Instead these motherfuckers would rather hang with their homies and fuck bitches outside their marriage. Somehow Quik is also to blame here. Great producer or not, you reap what you sow.
What u talking bout his son was always around him and be beside him at all his shows.We don’t know what happened so why act like you do
A father educating his children about what is right and wrong and teaching them about the consequences of their choices wouldn’t probably have his kids sentenced for battery and murder. And his son being with him at his shows might not be the proper environment to do that. Dumb fuck!
Damn
Quik’s daughter had a public defender, then a court appointed Attorney. He didn’t bond her out or anything. Far as I know, she still in
prison. Seems she had it hard all her life. She been down so long she probably gay now.
” She been down so long she probably gay now.” Where the hell did you get this idea from lmao
That sucks. People should just catch the fade, damn egos be driving to destricton.
kills his kid for wetting the bed… he was only 2. hope they get the chair.
waoh
He must be a proud father.
