Lil Reese was devastated upon learning the story behind 17-year-old Jordan Davis’ death. The Def Jam rapper learned the Florida teen was murdered following an argument over loud music. It was Reese’s song “Beef” featuring Lil Durk and Fredo Santana that spurred the verbal confrontation between Davis and 47-year-old Michael Dunn.
Reese was first dumfounded by news of his song being at the center of Davis and Dunn’s verbal spat.
The “Supa Savage” rapper posted a news article to his Twitter account with the message, “Trippin.”
Reese eventually left his state of shock after he verified the news.
“So it’s Tru a kid got kilt for playin my shit in Florida,” wrote on Twitter.
“Shit real,” he added in the caption of his IG post.
John Phillips, the Davis family attorney, messaged Reese, writing, “His birthday would have been Sunday. I’m the family’s lawyer.”
Reese sent his condolences to the Davis family a day following the conclusion of Dunn’s trial.
“My prayers go out 2da kid family who was kill for playin my music Loudd…#300,” he wrote.
“This for the Jordan Davis case…#300,” the caption on his IG post read.
The family of Jordan Davis didn’t get the justice they hoped for following the senseless killing of their only child. A jury ended up deadlocked on a decision to convict 47-year-old Michael Dunn of first-degree murder.
Dunn, however, was convicted of three counts of attempted murder. Each charge carries a minimum sentence of 20 years.
Davis, 17, was with three friends inside a parked SUV outside a Jacksonville convenience store gas station when Dunn and fiancé Rhona Rouer parked alongside their vehicle.
Dunn complained the youths were playing their music too loudly and asked they turn it down.
An argument soon followed between both parties. Dunn alleged he saw a shotgun barrel from Davis’ car before he produced a handgun and sprayed nine bullets into the SUV, striking Davis three times, according to CNN.
No weapon was found in Davis’ vehicle upon investigation.
Dunn and his fiancé fled the crime scene and drove back to their hotel 40 miles south to St. Augustine, CNN reports. Dunn never notified authorities, but instead ordered pizza, took his dog for a walk, ordered a movie and poured a glass of rum and Coke.
