Rapper YNW Melly Is Facing The Death
Penalty In The State Of Florida

YNW Melly's mug shot
19-year-old rapper YNW Melly, real name Jamell
Maurice Demons, is facing the death penalty in the State of
Florida, in connection with a double murder he is accused of
committing. He was arrested on February 13, 2019, regarding the
October 2018 shooting deaths of two of his friends.
Melly is accused of murdering aspiring rapper
Anthony “YNW Sakchaser” Williams and Christopher “YNW Juvy”
Thomas. Melly staged the murders with a friend, Cortlen “YNW
Bortlen” Henry, to give the appearance the men were shot in a
drive by shooting. Henry drove the victims to the hospital,
where they were later pronounced dead.
Melly has previous arrests for assault, battery,
illegal weapons possession and marijuana, which also occurred in
the State of FLorida. Melly and Henry are also the main suspects
in the 2017 murder of sheriff’s deputy, Gary Chambliss, in a
slaying that occurred in Florida. They have not been arrested
for the crime at this time.
It’s amazing how rappers get sidetracked. Their
job is supposed to be making music. Yet murder and assault end
up in the picture with some rappers. To receive the opportunity
to make music and earn more than most in the process, then ruin
it via violence is tragic. Stay away from violence.
