ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis police are investigating the fatal shooting of a young rapper whose group gained some notoriety before one of its three members went to prison earlier this year.

James Johnson Jr. of Ferguson was found dead in the yard behind a St. Louis home about 10 a.m. Sunday. He had been shot in the head. Police have no suspects.

Johnson was known as Swagg Huncho in the group 3 Problems. The group consisted of three 18-year-old cousins — Johnson, Taylor Merriweather of Jennings (known as Lil Tay) and Terrell Brown Jr. of Florissant (known as Relly Rell). Earlier this year, Brown pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

10 years for 2nd degree murder? Sounds lenient.

Probably killed a black person. If he had killed some whitey...

And now is as good a time as any for anyone to explain why...

If only St. Louis had had midnight basketball, this senseless killing could have been avoided.

Well according to the best minds at Obama's State Department, these problems would be solved if only they had jobs, or something

Now the little thug band is down to just Taylor Merriweather.
He can shorten the name to just “The Problem.”

Marvel at their virtuosity, such unbridled talent.

Profanity warning (though that kinda goes without saying).

I get that they didn’t find any suspects. What I want to know, did they find anyone who cared?

I looked it up. The person that was killed was a white guy named Ryan Faulstich. Some sort of heroin transaction between the gentlemen.

Teen charged with murdering man in Boulevard Heights neighborhood

According to court documents, Brown admitted to driving another person to the home of Faulstich in order to sell Faulstich heroin. Brown admitted to giving the person his gun beforehand. Brown admitted to getting rid of the gun after the person returned the gun to him. "While that person was inside of the house, (Faulstich) was shot several times and died from his wounds," court documents say. The person also gave Brown money after the shooting.

James Johnson Jr.

His name sounded white, and he knew who his daddy was... hardly keepin' it real.

It's pronounced Jamés

Drugs, huh? Well that explains it.

The thug culture and the drug culture waste people and resources.
