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.

3 Problems had already split up when one was sentenced to prison for 10 years for murder.

Now another is dead.

Can 1 Problem go solo but claim a lot of street cred? Or at least he can aspire to go solo.

Johnson was known as Swagg Huncho in the group 3 Problems.

From this point on, he will be known by his new rap name, "Durt Knapp."

Smh, could it possibly be retaliation for the murder his cousin committed?

“Police have no suspects. “

I don’t know but “suspects” that it was someone who didn’t like him a whole lot!

Three rappers. One in prison. One dead. The third one is the lucky one; he’ll wind up spending his days on the front porch steps with the brown paper bag between his legs.
