Jamell Demons aka. YNW Melly is convicted by Miramar police for the first-degree double murder of his friends/co-performers Anthony Williams aka. YNW Sackchaser and Christopher Thomas Jr. known as YNW Juvy.
He was arrested in February 2019 and kept in a cell in Broward County Jail in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Along With the South Floridian rapper, 20 other associates from the same musical team were also found guilty.
Demon allegedly penned that incident in his single called “Murder on His Mind”.
“I didn’t even mean to shoot ’em,
he just caught me by surprise,
I reloaded my pistol,
cocked it back, and shot him twice.
His body dropped down to the floor
and he had teardrops in his eye.”
Other things that put YNW Melly into the limelight are his phone text messages in which he plotted his mother’s death.
Evidence of firearms violations was also found on YNW Melly’s phone. Charges of narcotics trafficking were also on the musician rooting out similar evidence from his phone.
Lesser Known Facts on Why YNW Melly is in Jail
In April 2020, the 24-year-old rapper’s team filed a motion for his immediate release to seek better medical facilities. This Emergency Motion for release quoted the Murder on My Mind rapper to have tested out COVID positive.
The plea made in Broward County jail demanded restricted jail release for Melly. The jail establishments were not abiding by the CDC guidelines for COVID at that time. Melly’s legal team and his attorney, Bradford Cohen, appealed a change of cell due to him being kept with inmates infected by the coronavirus.
Melly’s attorneys, Daniel Tibbitt and Philip R. Horowitz filed an opening brief on 27 January 2023 in Florida supreme court against the possible death penalty if found guilty in the approaching murder trials. They tagged the case to be of Great Public Interest.
The musician is getting on the tough side, with prosecutors claiming him to be trying to escape from Broward County jail. YNW Melly had to face several denied appeals upon requesting release from prison for special dental care for his quickly spreading mouth infection due to grills.
The rapper of ‘Butter Pecan’ was on prosecutors’ radar with a confidential tip from his jail inmates on him planning an escape from jail with his lawyers.
In Dec 2022, he took to Instagram to share his concern over the intentional discriminatory behavior he is facing because of some high-ranking sheriff having some unsaid feud with him. He told his followers about being skeptical and terrified about being beaten to death and denied all human connection to make his suffering underground.
How Is YNW Melly Still Making Music While in Jail?
Yes, he is still active in his music career despite being imprisoned since February 2019. In September 2021, he released new music. However, it is unclear how Melly is able to create music from jail.
