A Virginia rapper reportedly premiered a music video after shooting his family before he was shot down by authorities in a standoff.

According to reports, the former musician named EGYPXN whose real name is née Tiye Adam Washington II, broke into his mother’s home on Tuesday (March 28), then fired shots inside the house, hitting his mother, Tyesha Hall, his 21-year-old sister, and his 12-year-old brother.

It was further reported that he fled the scene and a city wide search ensued.

Washington’s family members were said to have been transported to VCU Medical Critical Care to treat their life-threatening injuries and are reportedly still in recovery.

During the assault, it was reported that the rapper’s music video premiered after being pre-scheduled on his channel via YouTube as per the Source.

Washington was eventually located by authorities on Thursday (March 30), authorities in Rutherford County, North Carolina, where he met his end following a reported standoff with local law enforcement.

A day before his demise, Washington uploaded a message to Instagram as his “last request.”

“My last request from humanity is that you seriously evaluate the care you have for each other. If this species is to ever evolve you must stop eating animals, stop warring with each other and take care of mother earth. Overthrow this sadistic government and rebuild. On a fresh foundation. It’s time for me to rest now..,” he typed.

It remains unclear what prompted the domestic attack. His video reportedly garnered 16K views before being taken down due to a copyright claim.
