Remy Ma‘s 23-year-old son, Jayson Scott, has been arrested and charged in connection to a murder that occurred in 2021.
According to ABC News, Scott was taken into custody on Tuesday, June 18. He has subsequently been charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, and first-degree reckless endangerment.
Scott is being accused of shooting a 47-year-old man named Darius Guillebeaux after an alleged dispute on June 7, 2021.
Additionally, a second suspect, Richard Swygert, has also been charged with first-degree murder.
According to the outlet, Guillebeaux’s body was discovered in the early hours of June 7, 2021. He was reportedly found with “multiple gunshot wounds to the head and chest.” The outlet adds that eight months before Guillebeaux’s death, he was indicted by authorities in connection to a “large-scale drug operation.” The investigation into the operation reportedly resulted in the arrest of 54 suspects “accused of trafficking heroin, fentanyl, and oxycodone.”
Page Six reports that the outlet has been informed that Scott and Swygert “were allegedly contracted to kill Guillebeaux.” The outlet adds that it has reached out to representatives for Remy Ma. However, they have yet to receive comment.
Furthermore, Fox 5 New York reports that Scott is expected to be arraigned in court on Wednesday. However, the outlet does not specify whether that will be Wednesday, June 19, or Wednesday, June 26.
Social media users reacted to the arrest of Remy Ma’s son in The Shade Room’s comment section.
As The Shade Room previously reported, Remy Ma recently made headlines in late December. At the time, reports alleged that audio surfaced of battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain admitting to having a relations with Remy while she was still with her spouse, Papoose.
At the time, Eazy reportedly alleged the recording was “edited,” per The Shade Room. Additionally, neither Remy nor Papoose publicly addressed the audio.
Fellow rapper Lil Scrappy, however, did share his opinion about the allegations in relation to Papoose.
