According to multiple reports, including Billboard, 17-year-old Suffolk, Virginia rapper by the name of Rylo Huncho died on May 15. The tragedy took place around 10 p.m. that night, according to a spokesperson for the Suffolk PD. Authorities are calling his cause of death a "self-inflicted gunshot wound." He did make it to a local hospital before succumbing to his injuries. While this part of the story is confirmed, a lot is still yet to be fully determined by the police. Due to Rylo being classified as a juvenile, his legal name is still unknown at this moment. Furthermore, perhaps the most important piece to this unfortunate puzzle is the rapper's manner of death. In the preliminary investigation, it was being viewed as an accident.
However, the aforementioned spokesperson for the Suffolk PD is saying that all the details are not being revealed yet. The main reason seems to be that this could have been an act of suicide. This self-inflicted gunshot reportedly occurred while Rylo was filming a music video on TikTok. We did not include the disturbing video, as viewer discretion is advised.

He appears to be holding a pistol with a green laser attachment before supposedly pulling the trigger and crashing to the ground out of frame.
