Meechy Darko’s father Ryan Simms was reportedly shot and killed by Miami police officers on Saturday (January 11) after he stabbed an officer.
According to a press release from the Miami Beach Police Department, Miami Beach police officer Ricardo Castillo responded to a security’s call from Mango’s Cafe on Saturday night, which is located on the busy street of Ocean Drive. The staff said Simms was threatening them with a knife.
As officers approached, Simms stabbed Castillo during the confrontation. He was then shot by the other officers on the scene and rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he later died. Castillo was hospitalized and listed in stable condition. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
On Monday (January 13), the Flatbush Zombies rapper shared a lengthy post about the incident and confessed his entire family suffers from mental illness.
“My heart is shattered,” he begins. “Never ever in my life felt pain like this before. On January 12th My father was Shot & Killed by Miami PD. I’m trying to stay strong and be tough for him
I’m filled with so many emotions right now. I don’t want to come on here for any type of sympathy. I want to spread this message. To Any and everyone out there dealing with Mental illness.
“Please get help. To Any and everyone out there that has a loved one dealing with mental illness. Please help them. It’s not an easy road but it’s one that needs to be taken.”
He went on, “I wish there was a handbook or some type of guide for this. This has been a Battle that My Family and I have been dealing with for over a decade, suffering in silence
I used to think there was strength in that.
“Like a badge of honor or something…like I’m some kinda warrior cus I can take the burden and not ever have to say much about it. Hmmm…Wonder who I learned that super power from. I was wrong though. We was wrong. Real strength is dropping the veil.”
Meechy went on to express how much he loved his father and understood what he was battling.

In 3, 2, 1…
Who?
Ya mammy that’s who
Fuck off
I have daydreams about Pac’s nutsack and getting stabbed by my former cell mate at the same time.
The guy lost a father. If you’ve never had a father in your life, you might be insensitive. But I do. Much respect.
He was a good man, he did not do no things.
this is bs. black lives matter!
His dad stabbed a cop, mentally ill or not what did you expect?
a fair trial.
When you are a cop you are supposed to expect that and much worse and be prepared for it.
They prob enticed him to stab him so they bloodthirsty asses could use them guns they been waiting to use.
Even if not. They had him outnumbered and stopped. Why kill when you could bring him in and see whats really going on?
I have seen white men shoot and kill many people and go straight to jail with no injuries all the time. They could have restrained him and brought him in. NO reason for death. FINAL. SHUT UP.
Don’t tell me that if he was white then he wouldn’t have gotten shot. This is a mental illness issue, not a race issue.
Prayin for you my man. Stay strong. This will only make you tougher. I can almost guarantee those cops handled the situation wrongly but if that was the last thing I ever did I wouldn’t be as mad as if I fell off a bridge or something. FBZ forever. Much Love.

“he dindu n.uffin he a gud boi” -All black community in unison
Racist piece of shit
Racist, disrespectful and sociopathic.
Sometimes u think we have unrealistic expectations or speak in things we’re not educated on, I’m a black man with military and SPO experience, if someone stabs me with a knife, especially at close range, I’m not using non lethal, non lethal does not work on everyone, if you dont want to get shot dont try and harm others, if you’re mentally sick, seek help it’s not that hard…youtube 21 foot rule and see what I’m talking about, sorry for meechys loss I’m a fan, mental illness is real, get help if you need it.
