Joshua “JayLoud” Davis had a passion for music.

Before his untimely demise, JayLoud, 18, was to move to New Orleans in two weeks to pursue his music career, his sister Selina Davis told Fox 32.

It was only a few months ago when Joshua “JayLoud” Davis attended the funeral of best friend Lil’ JoJo. Lil’ JoJo, born Joseph Coleman, was an aspiring rapper who was tragically murdered in a drive-by shooting as he was riding on the back pegs of a friend’s bike.
