A murder-suicide scenario played out in Florida after popular rapper; J $tash allegedly killed his girlfriend; the mother of three kids, before taking his own life.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the tragic incident happened in Temple City on New Year’s Day.

J $tash, whose real name is Justin Joseph, is thought to have been in a relationship with Jeanette and that they had been living together for the past few months in Temple City.

According to reports from The Sun, it was reported that the police confirmed that the couple had been arguing before the rapper took his girlfriend into the master bedroom and locked the door behind them.

Lieutenant Derrick Alfred revealed that the rapper and Jeanette’s three children, aged seven, nine, and 11, kept knocking on the door as they were concerned for their mother’s safety.

At around 7 am, gunshots were reportedly heard and the children called their grandmother, who told them to call the police immediately.

The children ran out of the house on the arrival of the police, with the deputies forcing their way into the locked bedroom, where they “found the victim and her boyfriend J $tash on the floor inside,” according to the lieutenant.

Police told local radio station KFI-AM: “The female victim sustained multiple gunshot wounds, while the male victim sustained an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

The lieutenant added that the children, who were not the rapper’s, we’re now staying with other family members.

J $tash was raised in South Florida before moving back to New York, where he was born. In a 2017 interview with Crack Magazine, the rapper detailed his bigger plan and that music was just his way of getting his name out there.

He said that he would focus on “building companies and opening up stores in different countries… of which I’ve been doing on the low secretly.”

J $tash added: “Rapping was just a platform to get me out there and grow.”

He cited Lil Wayne’s assistant like the one who got him rapping and into “that world”.

The rapper said: “His name is Troy Bless and because of Troy I was able to be around Young Money and establish myself within that scene.”

The motives behind this act are still unknown at the time of filing this report. But whatever the reasons are, it’s never an option to kill and also commit suicide.
