Rae Sremmurd’s stepfather was fatally shot in Mississippi on January 6, and the duo’s younger brother is in police custody as a suspect.

According to reports from TMZ, police were dispatched to the scene on Monday night after a man died from multiple gunshot wounds. The Lee County Medical Examiner said that the victim is the brothers’ 62-year-old stepfather, Floyd Sullivan.

As the duo’s stepfather, Floyd Sullivan helped raise both Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee since they were in middle school.
