Rapper Lecrae posted on Facebook:

My cousin Darryl overcame similar childhood wounds. He broke the cycles we are often born into and beat the odds. He is an inspiration to me and for his life to be taken last night is hard. Pray for his family. It’s real out here. Life is fragile. Don’t waste it. Stop spending time arguing over petty things and make a difference. Live for something greater than yourself. God put us here for a limited time. Don’t waste it.
