Young Boss Tevo finally has some justice coming. Nearly three months after the rapper was gunned down alongside a second man in a triple shooting, police have taken a suspect into custody on murder charges.
A Durham man named D’Monte Kinney, 26, was booked Thursday on a pair of first-degree murder counts tied to the March 13 killings of Young Boss Tevo and Jarrett Godfrey, who was also 26.
Court records show Kinney also faces two counts of attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, two weapons charges, and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, making this a full package of charges tied to one of the most painful nights Durham’s Hip-Hop community has seen in years.
Officers responded to the 3500 block of North Roxboro Street late that Friday night in March and found multiple people shot inside a parked car.
Young Boss Tevo and Godfrey didn’t make it out alive, and a woman who was also hit managed to survive after being rushed to a hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening.
What nobody knew until now, per CBS 17, is that a fourth person was also inside that car and walked away unharmed, a detail that hadn’t surfaced in early reporting on the shooting.
Kinney didn’t pull this off alone, according to court documents. A man named Xaiver Hodges is named as his alleged co-conspirator, and Hodges has been sitting in Durham County lockup since late March on a completely separate set of charges.
Kinney’s court date is set for June 8, and he’s being held with no path to bond.
Young Boss Tevo was one-third of 83 Babies, the Durham trio that Rich the Kid took under his wing through Rich Forever Music before they landed a deal with Atlantic Records.
Rich the Kid once told Billboard that the group had “originality and authenticity,” adding that they weren’t rapping about things they witnessed from a distance but real struggles from actually living in the hood.
Their single “No Cap” had built the group a real following, and they were considered one of the more promising crews coming out of North Carolina’s rap scene before tragedy kept finding its way to their doorstep.
