Video shows the teen displaying his handgun to the camera before pointing it at his head and pulling the trigger.
On Thursday, 17-year-old Virginia-based rapper Rylo Huncho fatally shot himself while filming a TitTok video.
In the video posted to his Instagram stories, Huncho was seen flipping the barrel of a handgun and holding it by the grip to show off the flashlight with a built-in laser sight. He then grabbed the grip, turned the gun towards his head, and said, "F**k Y'all N*****s" while pulling the trigger.
In a GoFundMe set up by Hucho's cousin, she explained that "Suicide/accidental was the cause of his death," but they were "still trying to figure out why."
"My aunt recently lost her 17 year old son from a self inflicted gun wound to the head," the post read. "He was her only son ! She was a single parent but took care of her son the best she could."
"Please keep my family in your prayers," she concluded.
According to Times Now, Huncho's friend, Twin Porter, broke the news to fans on his Facebook account. In a post he said, "to get a text saying he passed away is heartbreaking and to hear the mean things y’all are saying about Railey is so wrong on every level please god give his mother the strength to deal with the devastating pain she’s in."
In response to the video on X, many pointed out the need for training on the safe handling of firearms. Youtuber Amiri King said, "This is why I don’t advocate for cornballing out with firearms to look hard."
"I wish they force taught gun safety/firearm curriculum in ‘the hood’ and/or high crime areas," he added. "I think teaching 2A and weapon respect would put a dent in dumb s**t like this."

Oh man! America deprived of yet another future doctor/rocket scientist!
Firearms are NOT toys& one of the rules for safe use is keep your booger hook off the trigger until you have the sights on target & not before ! This is an example of stupid is as stupid does😑.
The movie was much better than the TV show.

Notice the last supper reference.
Neighbors. He didn’t like his neighbors?
Now that you mention it, things have declined in the hood since she passed in 2010.
I had just assumed that 0bama was solely to blame for it.
I thought he was doing it to get tik tok publicity and sell his rap music. I’m sure he had extra views that day
Humans brokenness writ large....whether suicide or accident...or hubris.....what an unnecessary tragedy...
Yahoo was waxing eloquent about Chynna years ago.
If you listen to her song “Selfie” it tells you all you need to know but you have to listen closely to the lyrics and all that’s in the official video. The thug culture.
😂😂🤣 ✈️
At least he saved any rival rappers from having to shoot him themselves.
Darwin Award.
With Oak Leaves……..
There's a strong hint in the very next paragraph:
"My aunt recently lost her 17-year-old son from a self-inflicted gun wound to the head," the post read. "He was her only son ! She was a single parent but took care of her son the best she could."

He did provide a very personal speech, completely reflecting his level of sophistication and moral development:
"F*ck yall n*ggers!"
Obviously very heart-felt!
Regards,
He went out with a "bang!"

Young people take too many risks. Especially young men and boys.
Very sorry for this 17-year-old and his mother and family.
