YNW Melly has been arrested for allegedly killing fellow artists YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy. Police in Miramar, Florida announced the 19-year-old rapper was charged with two counts of first-degree murder on Wednesday (February 13).
Police say Melly, whose real name is Jamell Demons, shot and killed his friends on October 26, 2018. Another man, 20-year-old Cortlen Henry, was also arrested and charged with murder in the case.
“Jamell Demons, a.k.a. YNW Melly & Cortlen Henry have been arrested and charged with two counts of first degree murder,” Miramar police wrote on Twitter. “The victims, Anthony Williams & Christopher Thomas Jr., were killed on 10/26/2018. The investigation, supported by forensic evidence, has concluded that Demons shot and killed Williams & Thomas Jr. and that Demons and Henry staged the crime scene to resemble a drive-by shooting.”
Miramar police spokeswoman Tania Rues said Sakchaser, whose real name was Anthony Williams, and Juvy, whose real name was Christopher Thomas, were last seen alive at 3:20 a.m. on October 26 in Fort Lauderdale.
According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the two suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were driven to Memorial Hospital Miramar at 4:35 a.m. The hospital is located about 20 miles outside of Fort Lauderdale.
Henry, the man charged alongside Melly, allegedly was the driver. Police claim Henry’s initial statement to authorities didn’t match up with the evidence found in their preliminary investigation.
No motive for the murder has been revealed as of Wednesday. On October 27, one day after the shooting, Melly mourned the victim’s deaths on social media.
“They Took My Brothers From Me Over Jealousy,” he wrote. “I know y’all watching over me it’s #ynw4l @ynwsakchaser1 @ynwjuvy for Life and after, they wanna see me break down and stop or in jail or a box but my niggas still need me they parents need me they family need me till we meet again my twins my slimes #thankyouallforyourprayers.”

Why has there been no news on the new bizzy bone dissing migos n drake song …whats going on
Because Bizzy‘s just a desperate, washed up has-been chasing clout.
Because these terrible ass irrelevant key chain troll looking hacks are better rappers and more relevant than anyone in Bone. Gayest name ever BTW. Bone.
We want bizzy bone update
YOU do. Hip-Hop heads don’t fuckboy with Bone’s iggity spiggity welfare music. Straight garbage. This article is about a different group of ignorant, gay, talentless hacks.
That’s fucked up. With a friend like that, who needs enemies?
Bizzy bone disses migos
And BONE still sucks. Maybe THE most overrated garbage ass rap group ever.
Homeboys last name is Demons. He was destined to be a Killa since birth. Never heard of any of them involved. Are they famous?
Police set-up?
Demons???? What kind of last name is Demons??? Also isn’t this the kid who released a song with Kanye last month?
Yep, Kanye seems to love collaborating with these criminals.
They’re in the same satanic occult. They probably met at a sacrificing ritual. I’m only half joking.
Who killed who and who?
Stop killing each other. You’re all mad at cops, yet not mad at the culture you’ve all created and nurtured. Now it’s become a monster.
“The best way to stop the madness is for (Us)”
The generation of our Ancestors to stop using America Forefathers N-words against each other. The day we stop that we will start upstanding our brothers and sisters. January 1st 1965 was the day the racist 🔗 was taken from around our necks and (We) had the audacity to pick them back up and put back around our own necks and start calling each other the N-words. My brother and sisters please in the name of Jesus study your American, African history as well as your Proverbs. And your will find out exactly who you are in America. Investigate this African word “Negus” and you never be defined or dictated again in this world.
Who??
Who is that clown?
KANYE CHOOSES SOME REAL WINNERS… TRUMP, THIS GUY DEMONS… WHO’S NEXT?
Don’t forget 6ix 9ine and Lil Pump.
Yeah, only Trump was his friend BEFORE getting elected as president of the United States. That isn’t winning, moron? I don’t like Trump, I didn’t vote for him. If he was my friend before getting elected, if Ben posted up at the whitehouse all day. Dummy.
“YNW… what”..??? Another retard with a cringe 3 letter abbreviation before his name? *yawn*
Lmao, good, good, fuckbois keep taking each other outta the picture. Quality of hip hop can only improve!
Guess he wanted to go solo
If your in the streets. Stay there. I’m bored of these guys coming into hip hop. I hope he gets life in prison. At least that way I don’t have to hear another crappy album with more mumbling.
Call me im the cuckold barber 4126096358
Put his ass in jail and let’s try to forget he ever done some kind of music.
Black Lives Matter
Lol YNW Sakchaser? What’s next, YNW Ballsucker? LOL…. these guys have really brought Hip-Hop to a new low…
So he not like your pink shirt or step on your jordans or red bottoms?
I dont think anyone can argue that this is natural selection at play. These types of idiots are of no use to the human race
“Demons” – Really? This guy last name is fuckin “Demons” ??
I said the same thing out loud: “His government last name is Demons, really?? And one of the thug’s he killed was called “Sakchaser” how gay is that?!
Sakchaser looked like he took saks to the face whenever he could.
cool when’s the #BlackLivesMatter event for this? two black lives lost!
Same day as the next kkk meeting
Just in case you’re not a troll and you’re actually just stupid……the murderers have been arrested. They are never getting out of prison. No need for protest or discussion. Just condolences. Idiot, the protests happen when everybody knows somebody killed somebody, yet they DON’T get arrested and they don’t go to prison. Do you understand the difference?
BLM is about police brutality. Thank you and good night
This is an actual crime against black people. When cops shoot some idiot not responding to their demands (on camera), and resisting arrest, they’re in their right to do so. That’s when people protest. They’re upset that they have to obey police orders like the rest of us, regardless, and when they don’t, they get shot and killed. The black “community” and their racist ass agenda doesn’t want to admit that 95% of those guys got what they deserved, and the reason isn’t that they’re black, it’s that their Dindu bullshit trying to talk their way out of changing lanes without signaling ended with them getting shot. Proportionally there are as many shootings of blacks as there are of any other demographic. No one else complains. Do Native Lives Matter? I think the authorities DEFINITELY killed more of them then anyone else. If BLM is about police brutality, why is it called BLM? Whites are killed more by the police. Strange. This bullshit (BLM) helped get trump elected. Most of America sees cases like this, black folk acting a fool, then see a cop shoot some moron like this guy here who resisted being handcuffed, and they think just like I do. I don’t give a shit. If Democrats support this bullshit, letting criminals run free due to their skin color, maybe we SHOULD make America great again. I voted for that bitch Hillary BTW.
Rap has some kind of weird clandestine satanic element to it right now. I know, a lot of these rappers are just ignorant fools, but on top of that, it seems like in the past 5 years or so rap has been SO over the top ignorant that it has to be deliberate. It’s almost like these “rappers” are being built from the ground up to be a walking mantra of black ignorance and negativity. It’s exaggerated. They’re like caricatures of black sambo cartoons. I love in the hood, always have, and I don’t see dudes that are this over the top ignorant. Then they get promotion and marketing everywhere, including this site, so someone is seeking out or creating these ignorant rappers and plugging them in purposely. It’s like when a Lil Ze’ took the satanic oath in “City of God”. Peace.
Na man the issue is that now since rap is the most popular form of music in the country. No that that is bad but theres not really anymore young rock and roll bands or young punk bands so rap is absorbing all of that counter culture and shock rock imagery. also notice how most popular rappers are young kids? Its not some conspiracy
I disagree. I absolutely believe there’s a conspiracy to promote prescription drugs in hiphop, and I think the drug companies pay them, and will silence them by death if necessary if they ever speak up about it. I also believe there’s an agenda to promote homosexuality in HipHop. You have to understand, Hollywood is ran by very rich and very gay and/ or sexually bizarre people. I used to live and work in Hollywood. Since Hiphop went fully Hollywood, Hollywood has turned it gay. The gatekeepers will only allow certain people, who are willing to do certain things, through that door. Not to say that rappers can’t get on unless they adhere to these things, but it’s a significant barrier. Peace.
Lil Zé had a Candomblé “blessing.” Not exactly a satanic oath, just to clear up your ignorance buddy. It’s one of many African based religions in Brazil. Christians consider everything not Christian, and any other form of Christianity (Catholics vs Evangelicals vs Mormons etc) devil worshiping too. Zé made a deal with a saint. In that religion when you do this, you have to give up something in return, he couldn’t fuck with that necklace on, and he did.
He’s trash anyways. Guess he really did have murder on his mind.
He must’ve woke up in the morning.
Bruh! Six9ine really snitching on everybody!
Isn’t this the dude who did a song with Kanye? His last name is “Demons”????? Did he change it to that or what? LMAO WTF is going on here?
Hip hop culture so fragile!
Y’all having thought about the fact that this may actually be a set up?? I don’t put it past white policemen. They are the lowest shit on earth.
Y’all see how I did that? I can start stirring up nonsense bullshit too.
Wow. How hard were these guys trying to be A$AP mob? Seriously. This is some serious gay on gay crime. These morons look like keychain trolls. How gay is that Williams sisters hair? Seriously. Criminals have all gone 100% fruitcake on us. If I were gay I would be offended.
DAMN it be your OWN FRIENDS SMDH!!!! KEY WORDS… TRUST NOBODY.
Why do they have the victim pictures looking like mugshots? If they were lilly, the pics would have been of them coming out of church holding hands with their mother.
WTF is hes name demon??. What have hes parents thinking SMH
I feel the young G on this one. Its all about G code. When someone in the family in salty you must take matters in your own hand. Its on business and never personal. One love to my G. I respect the G for this. Rappers today to keep it real. Mad love and gets my respect. Street Cred just went up!
I’m an old white woman, don’t know a whole bunch bout Hip-Hop but know a little. Was just reading this news article about these 2 young black men gettin gunned down inside a car with wat they thought were their brother’s and friend’s!! It saddens me so to read these terrible things. These 2 that committed the murders, it seems like they all had everything in the world going for them. Musical talent that just got completely thrown away!! My prayers are with the families of the victims and the families of the suspects. R.I.P young men. I’m sorry ur lives were taken so soon!!
