Juvenile's Daughter Murdered By Her Brother
A four year old girl who was murdered yesterday (February 29) along with her sister and mother by her older brother has been identified as the daughter of former Cash Money rapper Juvenile.
According to The Atlanta Journal Constitution, 17-year-old Anthony Tyrone Terrell shot and killed his mother Joy Deleston and his two sisters, Micaiah and Jelani, at their Gwinnett County home Thursday night.
Deleston, 39, was a seven year veteran of the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office who worked in the sex crimes unit. She was also an actress and had appeared in various locally produced films.
Gwinnett County child support records showed that four year old Jelani is Juvenile's daughter. Micaiah, 11, was a sixth-grader at Richards Middle School.
Terrell, who is currently being held in DeKalb County Jail, has been charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault.
The teenager waived his first appearance hearing which would have taken place today (February 27) and is expected appear in court for a probable cause hearing next week.
IronE Singleton, an Atlanta based writer, director and actor who had worked on various projects with Deleston, described he r as a single mother who loved her children.
"Every time I was around she seemed like she was a great mom," Singleton said. "She seemed like she wanted the best for her children and she was doing all she can".
Police are still investigating the motive behind the killing. The gun, which Terrell had disposed, was found today.
Singleton told The Journal Constitution that he last spoke to Terrell at a movie screening in November and he is still puzzled at what could have caused the boy to kill his family.
"[Terrell] was a good kid," said Singleton. "[It's] disturbing because you just didn't see that coming. He seemed very humble. He was respectful."
Juvenile could not be reached for comment Friday.
