Rapper J $tash has reportedly shot and killed his girlfriend in California, right before he turned the gun on himself.
According to local media reports, the horrifying incident took place at the couple’s Los Angeles home where his girlfriend’s three young sons happened to be present, in another room.
Police rushed to the crime scene which was located on the 9200 block of Pentland Street in Temple City, which is a known suburb in Los Angeles.
They were responding to a call made in regards to domestic violence at about 7 am on New Year’s Day.
Cops stated that they found the bodies of both the 28-year-old rapper and his 28-year-old girlfriend named Jeanette Gallegos inside the couple’s residence.
J $tash’s legal name is Justin Joseph and he had only recently graduated from California State University. The duo were in a relationship for the past year.
Meanwhile, authorities claim that they suspect that the pair were having an argument, right before the rapper who hails from Florida grabbed his girlfriend by her hand and took her into the master bedroom.
He then opted to close and lock the door behind him.
The LA PD Lieutenant went on to reveal how Jeanette’s three young children were aged 7, 9, and 11. They were present in the room that was located next door to where the crime occurred.
The children kept on knocking on the door, fearing for their mother’s safety as the sounds of bullets were loud and clear. Next, they called up their grandmother and explained the entire situation to her, who then quickly made a call to 911 officials for assistance in the matter.
As investigations into the bizarre and very tragic matter continue, police have confirmed how none of the children suffered any physical injuries during the tragedy.
