Juvenile devastated after four year old daughter killed

Rapper Juvenile's manager says he is devastated after his four-year-old daughter, her mother and half-sister were shot dead, with a suspect charged.

The manager of Juvenile has told reporters that the rapper is "shocked and devastated" about the news that his young daughter, her mother and her half-sister were killed in a shooting last week.

Four year old Jelani was shot dead alongside her mother Joy Deleston, and Deleston's other daughter, eleven year old Micaiah. Her third child, Anthony Terrell, has been charged with the murders.

Juvenile, who was confirmed as Jelani's father after a paternity suit in 2006, is reportedly still coming to terms with the shooting. His manager, Aubrey Francis, said on Saturday: "It really shocked him and devastated him to the point where I've never seen him before. Right now he is relaxing and trying to grasp everything of what has happened".

Terrell is due to face the murder charges in court this week. Although he committed the crimes in Gwinnett County he is being held in jail in the neighbouring DeKalb County because his mother worked for Gwinnett police, so another police force will hold the defendant to avoid conflict of interest.
