The brother of Memphis rapper Blac Youngsta was shot to death at a gas station in South Memphis, according to multiple reports.
Memphis Police identified the victim of the deadly shooting as Tomanuel Benson, named by multiple outlets as the brother of Blac Youngsta who’s real name is Sammie Marquez Benson.
Police said the gunfire rang out around 9:30 a.m. at a B.P. gas station on South Parkway East just down the street from South Side Park. Eyewitnesses reported that an assailant from a passing vehicle was responsible for the attack.
The specific motive and the shooter’s identity remain undisclosed by the authorities. However, the incident is, unfortunately, a familiar pain for Blac Youngsta. He had previously lost two siblings to street violence. In 2016, another brother was killed, and in 2019, HeavyChampTD, yet another sibling, was also killed due to street violence.
Let’s continue to keep all parties involved in our prayers.
